cisv.exe

I often find this process using more than 90% of my cpu on my laptop. What
is this process and why is it slowing my laptop to a crawl from time to time.

Did you spell that right? Find the file on your system and right click
on it. What information can you find on it in the properties section?

it's cisvc. There is no list of prorperties. If I right click it it says
set prioirty. It's normal, and now it's using 00% of my cpu. But from time
to time it explodes and brings everything to a halt. What does it do?

To resolve the issue, turn off the Indexing service.

Windows XP may run slowly and you may see multiple symptoms in Windows Task
Manager
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/899869

cisvc.exe = Content Index service or Indexing service.
cidaemon.exe = Indexing Service filter daemon

Indexing Service starts automatically the first time you use Search,
unless it has been disabled.

Before disabling the Indexing Service, uninstall it in 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: Indexing Service | Finish |
Close Add or Remove Programs

Turn off the Indexing Service.

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

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.]]

Thanks Wesley. A few weeks ago I read about this in the Jerusalem Post
computer column and actually implemented it on one of my computers. But the
column never mentioned the name cisvc, so I didn't connect the indexing
service to this executable. Stupid me.

cisvc.exe = Content Index SerViCe if you see it that way, it makes a little
more sense.
