It takes up 99% cpu and 90+% ram bringing system toa complete stop. Uninstall f-secure in safe mode to fix

It is the security suite offered by Charter Cable internet service. It didn't install correctly on another machine I have. The firewall bumped into something on my machine and it won't work correctly now. I use windows firewall and don't need the Charter firewall.
