My computer seems to make noise even when no programs are open. I pressed
Control+Alt+Delete to see what was running and I saw "FINDFAST.EXE" running
Twice / two entries.

What is that?
Why twice?

Thanks

Hi,

Here's how to turn off the Findfast indexer. It is not necessary.

Findfast has a separate task for each drive. My system runs good without
it.
