Is it normal for my macbook pro 13" late 2011 to be running at 85 degrees celsius when I'm just doing normal web browsing ? The fans are running at close to 5000 rpm and I figured it's abit extreme for light usage.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Uninstall Avast because it's consuming a lot of CPU and an antivirus is useless on Mac OS X. Do a SMC reset > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Thanks ! Turns out Avast was the problem after all. 🙂
You're welcome

Your problem is "HPShortcutManager". Open Activity Monitor, select that process and kill it
by kill it you mean select it and 'quit process' ?
Correct
YES! it worked thank you so much!
You are welcome
