I recently made the upgrade to MacOS Sierra, really thought that it was way slower so I opened the activity monitor just to find these two bizarre things were taking the whole cpu. Seached everywhere on the internet about that kind of programs but couldn't find anything. does anyone has an idea about what's going on ?
Thanks for taking time :)
The percentage is per core of the CPU, so e.g. a Mac with a quad core chip has 400% CPU to divide among its processes.
Those processes do not appear on my Mac running macOS Sierra 10.12.6, so I assume these are not part of the default Mac software.
If you are reasonably careful, you can stop a suspicious process with the ‘X’ button at the top of Activity Monitor on a selected proces. If the processes re-appear, consider a full software diagnostic from EtreCheck.
If you fear malware, then try running Malwarebytes.
