I don't know what this is and if it is safe. It pops up when I'm doing nothing on my computer and when I try to go into my activity monitor it terminates and disappears. I tried looking it up on google and have found nothing. Does anyone know what this is and how to fix the high cpu that it's causing?
iMac Line (2012 and Later)
The only thing I noticed was this:
The "/.Qemusys/qemuservice". That was giving me high cpu as well but I was able to locate it and delete it from the LaunchDaemons file and it went away... But last night I was able to find service-monitor in a hidden folder under /usr/local/bin/system-monitor and deleted it and "tools-service" because that started giving me high cpu too and I didn't know what that was either (never seen it in my processes list before). There was also a lot of qemusys stuff in there so I deleted all those as well. Since deleting all that stuff, I think the problem went away. I don't see it in my processes list anymore.

Open Activity Monitor, force quit service-monitor, see if iStat Menus quits.
service-monitor only pops up after like a couple of minutes of not doing anything on my computer. When I see it on the iStat Menus processes list, I go into activity monitor and service-monitor self terminates within like 3 seconds. I've been able to get a sample of it and I've tried to terminate it too but nothing happens. It just disappears and the process goes away. iStat Menus doesn't quit when service-monitor self terminates or when I try to force quit it (If I'm able to before it self terminates).
No I don't. Unless it comes pre installed on iMacs then no I haven't installed that. I can't find it anywhere on my iMac to where I can uninstall if that is what's installed.
Nope, it wouldn't, what is that window a shot of/from?
The program is iStat Menus. I've had this program for like a month now and I haven't seen "service-monitor" until yesterday.
I actually got that yesterday.
Does it tell us anything?
What is "system-monitor" and why is it taking up 100% on my CPU?
