I heard my computer's fan spinning fast, so I checked Activity Monitor and saw that a process called InterCheck was using close to 96% CPU. What is this process and why's it using so much CPU?
In the Inspect window, it said that the parent process is launchd.

The parent process is
launchdso that when you accidentally kill theIntercheckprocess, it gets restarted.
