Why JAVA is running at Full Speed on it's Own?

[gonwk]

Hi Folks,

I am wondering why my Java "Java.exe*32" is causing my CPU run at 50% constantly when I have NO APPLICATIONS running, just surfing the net!?!?

FYI, my laptop has Vista Prem., SP1, 64-Bit and I am running IE7.

I have not installed any new software either ... the only thing I have done I upgraded from Comodo Firewall 3.9.95478.509 to 3.10.102363.531. Now I was having problems with 3.10 before ... slowing my internet and lots of pop-ups ... that is why I reverted back to 3.9 about several weeks ago.

Anyway, I end up killing the process via Task Manager each time. This has been happening in the last 3-4 days! :confused:

BTW, I have already ran MBAM, SAS, AVIRA at Full Scan and NO VIRUS!

I have also ran GMER and no sign of Anti-Rootkit.

I have also uninstalled and reinstalled latest JAVA JRE.

Q1: Is this a sign of Spyware or a Trojan, which my AntiVirus is not catching!?!?

Q2: Any Suggestions!?!?

This is driving me nuts!

Thanks,

G
