This has been reported in a couple other places, like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1303300. It seems that many people encounter it (and this is the case for me) when on a network with one of those horrible DNS-hijacking landing pages that are all too common among USA ISPs.

This used to happen to me while running Ubuntu MATE 16.04 Beta 2.
I killed the process, it respawned and resumed eating one of my cores.
I killed it again, it respawned again.
I forgot to kill it, and it somehow ran for a while, then stopped. Haven't seen that happen in a while now.

I was also affected by this bug. It is after start up, then appears to either time out or simply stops. I was told by another user that it stopped occurring after some time.

I also have this problem on Xubuntu 16.04.

I would stop the smb-browse manually, but later another process would start up again. I could not see it in the system monitor under processes, and the smb-browse was still stopped. It did the same thing: by taking %100 of one core.

Me too on two ubuntu-mate 16.04 desktop machines after migration from 15.10.
Seems to me that gvfsd-smb-browse try to connect to my NAS with a Samba server.
Bizarre !!!
smbclient same thing force CPU load at 100% if I use it....
