MSKSrvr.exe is hogging my CPU cycles

[Guest]

MSKSrvr is always running and use all available CPU cycles; I am always
running at 100% CPU. I cannot end this process. End Process results in
"Access Denied". How can I stop MSKSrvr for running?

It (MSKSrvr) belongs to McAfee SpamKiller. Just do a search on the net
for MSKSrvr and you will get many hits on the subject and the same
symptoms you are experiencing with your pc. If you can't resolve the
problem you should be able to stop it from starting automatically by
deselecting the corresponding option in the software, if not look in the
Services Management Console and set the service to manual start or
disable it.

Thanks for the tip. The problem was indeed with SpamKiller, which doesn't do
much for me anyway. Disabling did not work, it still hogged. I removed
SpamKiller and all is well now.
