What is CSCONFIGDOTMACCERT? How do I stop it?

For what ever reason this CSCONFIGDOTMACCERT is running the processor at a 100%. It just started today and I thing the only thing new is the update to the iwork programs. Help

I just Googled CSCONFIGDOTMACCERT, it appears it's something to do with MobileMe. Do you have a MobileMe account?

The things I'd try are a SMC reset and PRAM reset, they're pretty simple to do just go to these advice letters:

Your welcome.

We've narrowed it down, try this look in your ~/Library/Preferences folder for a .plist file with MobileMe in it.I suspect the file will be called com.apple.MobileMe.plist but I'm not positive because I don't use MobileMe. Once you have found it drag it to your desktop and then restart MobileMe and see if that fully takes care of the problem.
