Does anyone have Microsoft Security Essentials installed on vista? I would surely appreciate knowing if it is also hogging your computer as it apparently seems to be doing to me. It is using up 50% of the CPU time when it is running and at times runs higher than that. I thought at first is would scan the machine at night because it is set for 2:00am but for some reason it to run just about any time of the day even when I am using the system. At least Google Desktop only uses the system when it is otherwise idle.
