A process that eats most of my CPU

My computer (Windows Vista, 4 GG memory, 500 GB disk (50% used), connected by
wire to my D-Link wireless router) is very slow. I have discovered that a
process, "WerFaults.exe" was consuming 50% and up of my CPU, quite often.
First, what is that process and second, what can I do to fix this problem.

Thanks

*What is** werfault.exe?*
The werfault.exe module is an important component of the Windows Error
Reporting tool that does the job of automatically reporting errors
related to the Windows operating system, Windows features, and
applications.
The Windows Error Reporting tool gives users the option of sending data
about errors to Microsoft and receiving information about the solution,
if Microsoft has the solution for the reported error.


*Werfault.exe high CPU consumption issue*
In Windows Vista, many users have complained of werfault.exe consuming
huge amounts (95%-100%) of CPU resources.
If you are facing the same issue then to fix the problem, disable the
error reporting. When you the disable the error reporting, werfatult.exe
stops working.
To disable error reporting in Windows Vista, perform the following
steps:


- Click *Start* and then click *Control Panel* to open its
corresponding window.
- Click *System and Maintenance*.
- Next, click *Problem Reports and Solutions*.
- Now, in the left panel of the Problem Reports and Solutions window
click *Change Settings* and then click *Advance settings*.
- Click *Off* to turn off Error Reporting.
