Overheating 13" MBP

[DoubleCheese]

I've got a 2009 13" MBP, the C2D ones, and something is using up the CPU cycles and making it run excessively hot and killing the battery very quickly.

From a fresh restart, with no applications running the CPU is at 50% on both cores and it is really hot with the fan blowing at full speed. All the applications/services runnign are at 0% or less than 1% activity for a second or two.

Any ideas?

Any chance of checking activity monitor and posting a screenshot? Make sure you change the drop down menu in the top right? I think it is, to all processes not just my processes.

I've seen this symptom loads, and a lot of people forget to change the view to all processes. Usually it'll be anti-virus, drop box or flash.
