Process SSCEVT1.exe bogging down cpu.

I've read that sscevt1.exe is related to aol's firewall, which I have and use, but it's currently using about 60% of my cpu. This can't be normal can it, since together sscevt1.exe and mcshield.exe (which I guess is also related to aol security) are using 100% of my cpu.

I checked if anything was currently scanning, but nothing is.

sscevt1.exe is indeed related to aols firewall, however mcshield.exe is related to McAfee On-Access scanner and McAfee is known to be a resource hog
