First, the Indexing service could not access c:\system volume
information. The System Volume Information folder is where System
Restore keeps Restore Points. The Indexing service does not need
access there. This isn't a problem.
cisvc.exe = Content Index service or Indexing service.
Second, you probably do not need the Indexing service to even be
running. I certainly have it turned off.
Indexing Service
[[Indexes contents and properties of files on local and remote
computers; provides rapid access to files through flexible querying
language.]]
[[Indexing service is a small program that hogs HUGE amounts of RAM
and can often make a computer endlessly loud and noisy. This system
process indexing and updates lists of the files on your system, so
you can search for them quickly, but it's completely unnecessary.]]
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.

Before disabling the Indexing Service, uninstall it via the Add or
Remove Programs Control Panel applet.
Start | Settings | Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs |
Add/Remove Windows Components button on left hand side|
Scroll down to and UNCheck:Â Indexing Service | Finish |
Close Add or Remove Programs
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.
