Plugin-container is an "out-of-process plugins" crash protection, see for more info the link, and if you want to disable try the analytical info :

So why do I keep getting a message that it is using 70 % of my CPU? Is that something to be concerned about?

Make sure that you allow the plugin-container process in the firewall and other security software to avoid such issues.
