I have Norton (Internet) Security version 22.20.2.57 on my HP Z820 x64 dual-processor workstation with a pair of Intel Xeon E5-2670 8-core (16 logical processors each) CPU's, hyperthreading enabled, running Windows 7 SP1 Professional, 64-bit. I have noticed that at times of NortonSecurity.exe intense activity (3% up to 31% CPU in Windows Task Manager), then CPU0 temperature rises from its normal level of ~45 deg. C, reaching up to 80 deg. C, while CPU1 remains at ~45 deg. C. Please advise how to convince Norton Internet Security to share the burden fairly between the two CPU's.
This is a Windows CPU task scheduling issue. Nothing that can be resolved by the Norton product.
I'll ask this thread be moved to the Tech Outpost forum board for discussion.
