These applications have recently shown up in my processes list (via top), and I can't kill them. They're taking up a huge load of CPU and are making my fan go crazy.

klogd
is your kernel logger daemon, so you can't kill it. dd
is a raw data copying utility. It shouldn't be in your processes unless you're formatting a partition or something.
dd
is a process and I am not formatting anything. klogd
isn't much of an issue now, and neither is dd
, it was just a surprise to see dd
in there.
