Black Macbook runs very hot after installing MS Office 11.5.7 update

Question

I don't know if the two events are causally related, but my black Santa Rosa Macbook is now running scorchingly hot (74 - 85 degrees C) after I installed the MS Office 11.5.7 update tonight. Won't cool down. When turned off for twenty minutes, then re-booted, it begins to run very hot again within a minute or two, despite SMC fan control being on.
Activity monitor says a kernel task at the root level is using 160.46 gigs of real memory and 1.24 gigs of virtual memory; something called "mds" also at root is eating 43 megs of real memory and 733 megs of virtual; a "database daemon" under my user name uses only 23 megs of real memory but over a gig of virtual, and "netupdateagent" which may or may not have something to do with Intego updates uses a whopping 2.9 gigs of virtual but only 6.9 of real memory.
I have tried to copy and paste the columns below. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

In Activity Monitor...click the CPU tab...at the top of that page choose 'All Processes'...are there any processes using double or even triple digit percentages?
Also is Spotlight indexing?....click the magnifying glass in the upper right hand corner...
