For some reason, Sygate personal firewall pro (build 5.5.xx) is taking up more cpu time at the moment than it ever has before.
Currently, and for the past week or so now, with SETI running at low priority on my XP Pro installation, SMC.EXE is using the cpu's time at fluctuating levels between 8% and 19%, with the average being (at a rough guess) about 12%.
Does anybody have any idea why this may be? It previously used only 3-5% in a normal state.
