OK This is driving me nuts! Every once in a while my hard drive light
starts blinking like crazy. I have looked to see is there is an AV or
Spyware scan going on. I don't see any processes that are out of
line. CPU usage is running for about 45 to 99 percent and nothing is
running.

The only thing I can think of is that the system is looking to
compress files.

Anyone have any ideas as to what is happening.

Thanks
Ron

Scroll down to the Indexing service, stop and disable it. See if that
solves the issue.

are you running the "indexing" service ?

No. It is not started and it is listed as manual start.

Thanks

Well. Something is running. You just haven't found out what it is yet.
