Thanks. It doesn't appear to have any corruption. That eliminated one possibility.
Try killing the process: KiesViaWiFiAgent and any process with a similar name.

ohhh really??
thanks to your DETAILED comments
another possibility?
u know, it gets hot on the top left side(not too far from the centre though) above the keyboard
on top of the F4 and F4 to be specific -.-
Read my last post. I added something. The reason it gets hot in that location is that's roughly where your CPU is located, which, along with the GPU, are the two primary furnaces on your Mac.
holy balls!!!!!!
the fan is making less noises and its not very hot *.*
wtf!!!! what was the kies thing? I think its something to do with my Samsung galaxy s<<hate it
thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank yoooooooooou Sir ^.^
u're the best!
Sorry it took me so long to notice that. I've been operating at a disadvantage today. My internet connection is down, so I'm doing all this on my iPhone, which I'm not used to using for web stuff, not to mention the tiny screen and my old eyes!
I'm glad you finally got it worked out!You're absolutely right to suggest that. Kies wifi agent is a piece of crap. It randomly starts up and consumes ridiculous amounts of resources doing apparently nothing.
OP, go to system preferences, users, login items and uncheck kies wifi agent.
EDIT: sorry I don't mean uncheck it; highlight it then click the "-" button to remove it from login.

done!! I din't uncheck it... just highlighted it then clicked on "-"
thank u sooo much
This is a known issue Samsung`s poor software does this to many Mac`s, just kill the process, uncheck run at start up or uninstall it and you Mac will back to normal. One of mine was the same with the entire machine literally burning hot and the fans maxed out, thanks to Kies
Update: Even removing kieswifiagent from login items doesn't appear to solve the problem completely. My MBP randomly started running 80-90 degrees earlier and low and behold, kieswifiagent had decided to reinstate itself and hog CPU like mad.
I found a perm solution now (aside from completely removing the kies utility, which I'd like to keep for transfers with the cable).
-Find Kies in Applications
-Right click Kies and show package contents
-Go to Contents folder
-MacOS folder
-Delete kieswifiagent

now u have the new MBP ^__^
lucky u
Dont worry these machine are build up to operate in high temperatures just keep enjoying your mac.
That's not the point, it's a rogue process that steals about 90% CPU power, and causes irritating high temps and high rpm fans. Best to remove the culprit.
In this case, the high temps were the result of a runaway process, which had to be stopped in order for temps to return to normal. It wasn't just a case of higher temps caused by normal intended workload.
A simple restart would probably solve the problem i dont think is wise to force quit the services generally speaking.
Why? If a program is causing the issues, then quit it. There's nothing dangerous about it, and in this case it was a third-party application that the OP did not need running.
jW
The process in this case would simply start again after a restart, so that won't solve the problem. There is nothing unwise about force quitting a process that is not performing properly.
quitting the process will not solve the problem when the application that affect current process launch same thing will happen again.
If this process which not performing well needed by an application and you quit it what happens then

Sorry about my english i said if you quit the problematic process the application who need this process to run she will launch it again
Dangerous Theory already posted instructions for removing it completely, so it can't launch again. See post #37.
