sp.exe process hogging a lot of cpu

[rigsby1208]

Hi

I keep seeing a process appearing called Sp.exe in Windows task manager.  It seems to be taking a lot of CPU .

Is it normal or is it something I should be worried about? I normally notice it when my machines seems to be running a little slow, but no other noticeable symptoms.

I have downloaded and run the latest malwarebytes software and database, which just identified several PUPs which I have now quarrantined

Hi:

Please read the following and attach to your next reply the 3 requested logs - Diagnostic Logs (the 3 logs are: FRST.txt, Addition.txt and CheckResults.txt)

It would also be helpful to see the SCAN log you mentioned, with the PUP detections. Instructions for posting the SCAN log (in addition to the other 3 logs) follow below.
 
Thanks,
