This system process indexes and updates lists of all the files that are on your computer. It does this so that when you do a search for something on your computer, it will search faster by scanning the index lists. If you dont search your computer often, or even if you do search often, this system service is completely unnecessary. To disable do the following: * Go to Start * Click Settings * Click Control Panel * Double-click Add/Remove Programs * Click the Add/Remove Window Components * Uncheck the Indexing services box * Click Next From here: www.connectedinternet.co.uk |

Is it a security issue? Cheers Radium Thats it because previous versions of Java if they have vulnerabilities, if you install a later version (without uninstalling the previous version/s), even tho you've updated to the latest version, you'll still get the vulnerabilities (of the previous versions), if u leave them installed. Java does come with an updater, but by the looks of it most people don't have it enabled, or don't bother updating it (Java). Even if it tells you there's an update. |
