From: Hunibal on 27 Aug 2006 11:31 I am using XP just the past few days my system slowed down. In the Task manager this program: - MNIndexStoreSvr.exe - Takes up most of the CPU time and keeps running, slows the system down. Any suggestion? Cheers _ Hunibal _
From: Wesley Vogel on 27 Aug 2006 16:51 MNIndexStoreSvr.exe MIGHT be SoundTrax WaveEditor, part of Nero. I found a Russian post about MNIndexStoreSvr.exe and had it translated. However, WaveEdit.exe is the Nero WaveEditor on my machine. Do a Search on your machine for MNIndexStoreSvr.exe HOW TO: Search For Hidden Or System Files In Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302347 See what folder it is in, that may be a clue. When you find MNIndexStoreSvr.exe... Right click MNIndexStoreSvr.exe | Properties | Version tab There should be a description on both General and Version tabs. This info is part of the file and not all files have real good info. Especially if it is spyware or a virus. Or whoever put it together was lazy or secretive. On the Version tab. Click a category on the left to display the information on the right. Other version information Item Name: Company File Version Internal Name Language Original File Name Product Name Product Version Sometimes, if someone was really industrious, there is info under the Summary tab also. 16-bit programs do not have a Version tab. ------ You will probably find that MNIndexStoreSvr.exe is malware of some sort. UPDATE your antivirus software and run a full system scan. UPDATE whatever anti-spyware applications that you have and run a full system scan with each one. You might want to start in Safe Mode to run your antivirus and anti-spyware software. Running a full system antivirus scan or anti-spyware scan in Safe Mode can be a good idea. Some viruses and other malware like to conceal themselves in areas Windows protects while using them. Safe mode will prevent those applications access and therefore unprotect the viruses or other malware allowing for easier removal.
