I am using BigSur on a 2020 Macbook pro. It's quite annoying after turning off all applications the MP repeating 6 times taking 97%+ processor power. The images of processors look busy too. Is it safe to shot down this MP? What is it for?
Thanks in advance for any hints or clues...

Suggest downloading from a Respected ASC Contributor the application Malwarebytes for Mac. It is free or paid for added features. Run the Application and it should remove the malware / adware. Once done, restart computer and test.
There are no known Viruses in the wild that self replicate and affect macOS. There are Malware and Adware that does affect macOS and are often times downloaded as part of an Application from Third Party UnTrusted Site and get installed along with the Application.
What does MP mean in Activity Monitor?
