My Macbook pro's fan runs constantly while I am using it. It is draining the battery power and I am not sure what to do.

Well, the fans always run all the time, so you need to be a bit more specific about the issue. Try installing a utility such as iStat Menus 3.26 and then report what you find for the fan speed and for temperatures.
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

Hi, Hope someone still reads this... This solved my problem, but the process I had to quit was something like ADmanager... does anyone know what this is/was? It used more than 90% of my MacBook Pro's CPU - and after quitting the fan returned to idle speed.
Should I be worried?
