Thanks Joe.
Too confused on the Pro Etre Check situation (their fault), so I'll stay free for time being.

Launch services stuff come up red on laptop, but I think it's not an issue on Kernal at 200-400%-- that's the killer right.. but mystery why.

But the Pro version, makes it easier to find that stuff and delete them..? ( not sure at all even if I had Pro, really what to do)

The laptop is AOK now. Why is goes bananas every couple of weeks and hits the 300 400% kernal, I have no idea.

I do notice the fan is loud when watching video. That is a big part of the laptop, later in the day for an hour I use it as the main TV (catching up on news pre- recordered stuff from the kitchen) That does seem to be when this happens.

Malware Byte, I've never seen it catch anything. What is it catching on your end where a periodic manual check would not have been enough?
