microsoft windows search protocol host

M

I am using Vista Ultra on my HP dv7 notebook. It often takes several
minutes, often more than 5 minutes, to start up. When I check task
manager the search protocol host is using about 50 % of CPU time. It
seems whenever the computer slows down it is running. Is it an
essentail part of Windows? Is it possible to close it down?

Thanks
Mike

Sorry, I thoiught I had. On my list of groups on Agent the Vista
group is 1 line above the AV line. Must have clicked on the wrong line
