WinDefender OR Windows Defender?
Which 1.- antivirus software/ 2.- security suite/ 3.- 3rd party firewall/
4.- or other security software is installed
Consuming excessive CPU is often caused by conflicting real time security
software trying to access the same file(s) repeatedly and concurrently, in
effect causing a deadlock condition.
WinDefender is one of the recent rogue security software. A variant of the
rogue IE Defender and Total Secure it deceptively looks similar to Windows
Defender, a legitimate Microsoft anti-malware program.
A rogue security software belongs to a family of software products that call
themselves as antivirus, antispyware or registry cleaners and often use
deceptive or high pressure sales tactics and deliberate false positives to
convince users into buying a license/subscription. They are often repackaged
and renamed. They do not actually remove malware instead many of them add
more malware of their own.

I recommend downloading and installing MalwareBytes' Antimalware (MBAM) and
SUPERAntiSpywaÑe (SAS).
Do a FULL scan with MalwaÑeBytes' and SUPERAntiSpywaÑe.

The programs are free. (There is a paid version but you don't need to buy it
to remove malware like WinDefender.)
