I always run task manager minimized to watch my CPU usage. My CPU has been running at at least 12% for the past 2 days. (8 cores) The process taking the CPU is:
LM.Detection_x64.exe (XML Scan Engine)
I did a google search to find what it is. I don't have any Lumension or Novell products installed on my laptop to my knowledge. (I went to Programs and did a search for those keywords).
I tried closing all of my programs and the process still exists. I even rebooted today.
What is causing this program to constantly use one core?

LM_DETECTION is the scanning engine for KACE tools. It is part of the system your system administration folks are likely using to do your updates and patches.
1This is a security scanning tool made by Lumension, and most likely deployed by your system administrator - try asking them about it. If this is a personal / home computer, it may have been installed by the vendor, so try asking their support about it.
It can be found in in C:\Program Files\Lumension\LEMSSAgent
