    MSKSrvr.exe is using about 50+% of my CPU usage. I followed the instruction at http://forums.mcafeehelp.com/viewtop...=199518#199518 and found no .eml files in the front but 214 .eml in the back. After deleating them there was no change.

    If I end the process MSKSrvr.exe my CPU returns to its normal 2% and everything seems to work fine except my email, what is MSKSrvr.exe and how can I fix this.

    Thanks again.

    Process File: MSKSrvr or MSKSrvr.exe
    Process Name: McAfee Spamkiller

    Description:
    MSKSrvr.exe is a process belonging to McAfee Spamkiller and offers protection from Internet mass-emailing. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.

    Check and see if you have an option to disable it thru your McAfee control panel or look in startup (Start > Run > type msconfig) and uncheck it. But, you may wind-up in the same situation with your email not working correctly.

    Thanks for the link. I still have not "fixed" this problem but I can still get work done by disabling SpamKiller and after rebooting MSKSrvr.exe is not there and CPU is as happy as a clam.

    Is McAfee support dificult to use or is it just me?

    Any additional suggeations is certainly appreciated.

    Thanks everyone for your help.

    Apparently, McAffee's solution only helped some.
