    Does any one of you know why PwdBank.exe is "eating up" my CPU ?
    It started some hours ago. I have searched for that process and it is connected to my Finger Print reader. (IF the information I found was correct!)

    No, I don't know, but I saw the same thing on one computer I was using...I say bad programming.

    Are you using that function? I just disabled it.

    I use my fingerprint reader to unlock my computer at boot-up and situations where I need to use it. Does this directly work with my fingerprint reader or can I disable it and still use my fingerprint reader ?

    As I recall, the password bank is used to store passwords for websites that you visit--it has nothing to do with the login process.

    I eventually uninstalled it, I think, but as a temporary test you can disable it by using a program like AUTORUNS to disable the program from starting.
