Recently I got an update of Windows XP installed on my machine. I noticed
that an executable isvtc.exe in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 was updated on November
26, 2006. That was when I believe I started to see the following problem.

The problem is that with isvtc.exe running, my computer would be
experiencing higher than normal CPU usage after a day or two. If this
happens, my browers would not function normally. If I kill this process, the
browers would work normally.

I want to know:
1) What does isvtc.exe do?
2) Are there known issues and solutions to the problems I am experiencing?
