diskimages-helper taking 100% CPU ...

I suddenly got a problem with the process "diskimages-helper" created by my account. It consumes 100% CPU time constantly.

I have read other threads about this, but they are +4 years old and I doubt the solution is the same since that was a different operating system.


Does anyone have an idea as to why this phenomena suddenly appears and what a solution might be ??

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), Parallels Desktop

This happened to me and it turned out I was running Google Chrome from a disk image, rather than from the Applications directory. Check to see what disk images you have running by opening up a window in finder and checking the "Devices" section of the left sidebar.
