Maybe nod32krn.exe has just updated virus database or performed scan.

Mine will do that (as well as mostly all my other processes) after I run a scan with A2 or Dr. Web. It seems that certain scanners use processes when scanning memory that causes this to happen. There is a thread somewhere around here with a decent explanation about it.
