What is coreduetd? Will not quit and consumes 150% of CPU

What is coreduetd?? It keeps coming up in my activity monitor and is consuming 105-150% of my CPU. You cannot force quit it, it just keeps coming back. It makes my laptop fans run continuously and the unit gets extremely hot. Since this has begun happening, my macbook pro will have spontaneous shutdown, freezes, unable to start up, etc. I've reset SMC, PRAM, run disk utitlity, etc.


When I search my files for this process, I come up empty. Help.


Thanks.

MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), 8 GB memory, airport extreme

Back up all data.

Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:

/var/db/CoreDuet

In the Finder, select

Go ▹ Go to Folder...

from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

A folder named "CoreDuet" may open, containing one or more files with names beginning in "coreduetd." Move those files to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and test.
