Alright everyone i need some help here, apparently some PowerPC process called VShield Update is running extremely hot on my Macbook Pro. I run 10.6.4 and dont ever use any non-Intel programs so I'm stumped on how to stop it for good. When I google Vshield it brings up some sort of VMware update software, but you guessed it, I dont nor have ever run vmware. Also it mentions some MCafee software, and I did find some old network app I had to use in my college dorms years ago, but I got rid of it and it still is around.
I use Istat menus so can see it running over 150% and my fans are on full power. I will end the process in activity monitor, and it sometimes remains off, but sure enough kicks back up spontaneously.
How do I get rid of this! I have also entered a terminal code to supposedly end the PowerPC processes for good (since I don't use any) but nothing has seemed to change.
Any ideas? I feel like its taking life away from my notebook.
