    No, this is the process which is used to scan your system for malware and other baddies. This is a process related to Microsoft Security Essentials. Possibly either Windows Defender or the Malicious Software Removal Tool, too (depends on which one you have installed and enabled/disabled on your system)

    Long story short, it's nothing to be concerned about

    Gornot is 100% correct, it is Windows Defender. A Guy

It's not only during scans, it is all the time. Also people told me that it is windows defender but I think it is actually Windows Security Essentials, or is it the same thing?
