There's always a possibility of viruses worms, or hackers have got access to your computer. But if all your checkers are up to date, then this is not the problem. I have the same problem. Emule uses an enormous amount of system resources, usually for very little gain, because of the way it works. If you run emule, while you are away form your computer, you will need to shut it down when you return, and it can take around five minutes to close as well! This is not a problem, do not panic about it.
