[QUOTE="Knautical, post: 1496232, member: 294367"] Great, Thanks, I went to all processes and found the evil little bugger. Running in the root is "WDSmartWareD". This is using anywhere from 20 % to 100 % of CPU resources. I have clicked on quit, and it does but then magically reappears gobbling up valuable CPU resources. It would be related to my WD passport external hard drive. I have uninstalled all the software from Smart Ware but this part does not seem to disappear. I have googled many threads on this subject but no real concise solution. So if anyone out there has any idea how to remove this CPU hungry bugger it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers [/QUOTE]
