Hi there,
This isn’t a question about the usual problem people seem to have with cisvc.exe (and the Windows Indexing Service in general), i.e. that it’s hogging resources — I don’t find that a problem and I find the Indexing Service useful, so I don’t want to disable it.
However, every time my system starts up (WinXP Pro SP 3), I get repeated warnings (up to 15) from ZoneAlarm Security Suite (latest build) as follows:
“Content Index service is trying to reconfigure software by modifying the registry key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\CSLID”
I have checked out the details for cisvc.exe and it’s the genuine MSoft article, not a Trojan.
It’s very tiresome having to allow so many alerts every time I start Windows — and, indeed, why on earth is cisvc.exe doing this, when it never used to do so? Any ideas on what it’s modifying and why, and whether I can stop it? For information, I updated ZoneAlarm to the latest build around about the time when cisvc.exe started behaving like this, but then again, that was also around the time when I installed WinXP SP3, so I’m guessing that one or the other of these may be the culprit…?
All advice gratefully appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Nell 🙂
