    That process is undoubtedly from your anti-virus program. Is it Norton AV?
    Some AV programs are resource hogs, but I happen to like AVG, which seems to run okay on my underpowered PCs.
    They have a version that is free for home use.

    Hope this helps,

    It is your antivirus protection. It scans every file that comes into your computer, and deals with malicious software. I suggest you keep it running, but I'm not sure how to minimize it's memory consumption.
