mssee.exe

[Guest]

This process is using 95% of my cpu cycles, and cannot be
shut down. Within the registry, it is listed under
software/microsoft/search assistant'acmru. What is it?

I don't see any reference to this process in the

article you pointed to. Am I missing something?

Sorry about that is it mssce.exe? What OS are you using?

No, it is MSSEE.EXE. I'm running WinXP.

Get Process Explorer (free) from
<http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/procexp.shtml>. Provides way more
information than Task Manager. It will let you look at details about this
mysterious process, including what modules it uses, and who wrote / distributed
each one.
