I have a problem that has only started over the last week or so and I can't
seem to find a way to stop it. I have Media Center and the mcrdsvc.exe is
showing up in taskmanager running at 50% cpu and higher at all times. I have
turned off all other media center services and tried turning it off but it
always comes back on and immediately starts running at 50%+. I also noticed
it is running as a Local Service and not as a system service. I ran virus
scanners, trojan scanners and even searched fo rte file thinking there might
be a hidden one calling itself the same name in disguise, but haven't hit
anything.
Has anyone had this issue or know what could be causing it? I can't run any
programs because it is taking all my resources.
My system is a Pentium D 3.Ghz, 4Gb Ram a Radeon X1600 Pro Win Media center
2005. I scan downloads when I get them and have not that I can find gotten
infected but anything is possible. I also did searches for anything related
to this file and nothing comes up suspicious.
Thank You,
Jim C.
