What exactly is the 'cpumin.exe' process which runs in the background and takes up 100% of the CPU? It happens whenever I run a Java program

I've been programming in Java this morning, a开发者_开发知识库nd although I've stopped now, my CPU has been running at 100% even though it should be idle. The task manager shows that a single process called 'cpumin.exe' is causing this. I've traced the file to a folder called 'javacache'.

Could anyone please explain what I can do to stop this? As whenever I kill the process, it just starts again.

Thanks

Me too faced this problem before 2-3 days. When I just run my browser(Firefox) cpumin.exe starts and it consumes 100% of cpu and fans run faster. Still I couldn't be able to fix the problem....

I fixed it...............:)

I used process explorer and locate those files. They were on C:\Documents and Settings\Anuruddha\javacache\ folder. Parent process was timesync.exe and the child was cpumin.exe I tried to delete these files. But couldn't be able to delete "timesync" bcz it's said that it is in use.

So I created new admin account and log to the new account. By logging to newly created account, i was able to delete the timesync file on previous account. Now I'm working on old account and It works fine...:)

I have never come across this EXE and neither has google. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=cpumin.exe

It appears you are the first and possibly the only person who can say what it does.

I found a single thread on the internet mentioning this process (Google-translated), and the invidual thinks he may have a virus. You should explore that possibility.
