Breakfast challenges - Pardon my english please, trying to improve my skill on writing

What is naPrdMgr.exe?

Started the work today with the tiredness of travel for work, Though washed my face to look active and fresh,My face showed i am tired as usual. Breakfast challenge for today was when a user complained about the performance issue / freezing, I checked the Application server and found that the process naPrdMgr.exe is occupying the maximum CPU. I searched through about this exe and found to be part of Mc-Cafee anti virus software.

This process is part epolicy Orchestrator. I tried stopping this process as a temporary solution and in the mean time the Application server completely frozen due to high CPU usage and i have to reboot the server. Though the reboot fixed the problem, I am still not convinced that the problem won't come back. I think the solution would be to upgrade the groupshield and patch upto the latest version.
