    check the task manger and figure out if at all any other process other than that should be running/ also try using the process explorer from sysinternals.com

    It's a common thing, and nobody seems to know exactly what causes it. It definitely isn't anything malicious, so I wouldn't worry about it.

    If memory serves me right it is a Windows Installer issue. If you download a new installer it should clear up. It isn't harmful to your machine. But I think the issue is around the Windows Installer.

    Ultimately everyone will have their own opinion--this is mine.
