CISVC.exe

[Guest]

every now and again, my processor gets pegged, and when i
check in task manager, cisvc.exe is the culprit. does
anyone know what this process is and what it does?

Turn off the Indexing Service.

Start | Run | Type: services.msc | OK |
Scroll down to and double click: Indexing Service |
Click the Stop button | In the Startup Type field,
select Disabled | Apply | OK
After you restart your machine it will stay disabled.

[[Indexing Service
This service always has been a major resource hog. I NEVER recommend having
this service enabled. Remove the function via the "Add / Remove Programs"
icon in the control panel (Windows Setup Programs). It uses about 500 K to 2
MB in an idle state, not to mention the amount of memory and CPU resources
it takes to INDEX the drives. I have had people (and witnessed it on other
people's computers) report to me that the Indexing Service sometimes starts
up EVEN while the system is NOT idle... as in the middle of a game. You may
feel, as I do, that this is unacceptable. If your computer suddenly seems
"sluggish," Indexing Service is usually the cause of it.]]

Wes, et al;

Disabling it seems to have done the trick. I have had
the same experience as you described in your reply to
me. I would be in the middle of a heavy edit, download,
whatever, and the processor gets pegged. every time, the
culprit was cisvc.exe. i've 'sledge hammered' it a
couple of times, stoping it in task manager, to free up
resources not knowing what the process was nor how to
disable it figuring the worse that could happen was that
i would have to reboot. disabling it has gotten rid of
the problem once and for all. thanks for your help.
