What is npview.bin ?
It sometimes uses almost 100% of cpu and shoots cpu temp way too high.

Re: What is ? excessive cpu use.
Yes, it has been a problem on 64 bit machines for quite a while. Anytime you view a flash in your browser, after closing, open a terminal and enter top and see if npviewer.bin is still running. If so, kill it. I don't know what causes it to hang and fail to close, it works fine on some sites but not on others. Even on the sites where it does work, it is processor intensive and will cause you CPU temp to shoot up. Monitor it closely.Comment

Re: What is ? excessive cpu use.
Many thanks for both replies. I rather do without the Flash than burn my cpu.
