A question about SearchIndexer.exe.

I followed my performance computer periodically since the first day I fight the laptop. It has 4 GB of RAM and runs on Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 bit edition. Lately, I've noticed a few oddities with a certain process and its services. It's called SearchIndexer.exe.

Usually, my use of the idle physical memory is usually in the low range 30 percentile. One day, I noticed that the physical memory usage is much more high by about 6 or more %. I check it out and noticed that SearchIndexer.exe used a memory MUCH what he usually does. He used about 120 000 kilobytes of memory.

So I decided to consult services for this process. The service was WSearch (Windows Search), normal as always. There are a few weird things past with the service... The PID of the service always changes to reboot the computer, or whenever I restart the service. I don't know if it's normal that the services change their PID, so please tell me the wrong or right. Also, I find it rather odd that the group to which the service is associated is N.A. By checking the service Explorer window, it tells me that the service is actually part of the SYSTEM Group.

So, this brings me to the final question. Is this malware process, has some sort of error, or is this normal? I have done many different AV analyses and etc and it came out clean.

Hello

Your description sounds normal.

After that initial run to index the files/folders selected on the disc, the search indexer will be run periodically of new index files and re-index the changed files.

The length of time to run and the amount of memory it uses depends on how strongly the system has been used and how many changes have been made to the file system since the last at the request of indexing.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for using Windows 7

  • Questions about csrss.exe

    I have two questions on the process 'csrss.exe' running Vista Business 32 b SP2.

    1. In a variety of sites on the web, I read that having two processes csrss.exe running is an indication that a virus or malware are present, posing as one of the two images csrss.exe in memory.  If I bring up the Task Manager and a quick glance, I see only a single process csrss.exe (PID = 652, private memory = 1332K.  Field name of the image, the command line path and Description are white). However, if I hit the button "Show processes from all users", a second process csrss.exe appears, on PID = 596, private memory = 1200K (PID = 652 is now using 1 412 K or private working set memory).  No process uses any CPU at the moment, as far as I know.  Both display the same values following the different fields in the table:

      • Username = SYSTEM
      • Name=C:\Windows\System32\csrss.exe image path
      • Line=C:\Windows\system32\csrss.exe command ObjectDirectory = \Windows SharedSection = 1024, 12288, 512 Windows = SubSystemType = Windows ServerDll = basesrv, 1 ServerDll = winsrv:UserServerDllInitialization, 3 ServerDll = winsrv. ConserverDllInitialization, 2 = Off MaxRequest ProfileControl
      • Description = Client Server Runtime Process

      When I researched the csrss.exe file c:\ system, I found the following files csrss.exe. 'Properties' information after each. None of these files listed all the previous versions tab "Previous Versions":

      C:\Windows\System32\csrss.exe:

      In addition, here are the MD5 signatures for each file:

      c:\Windows\System32\csrss.exe abca209eba02cb59233614db83b4f50d c:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-csrss_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6001.18000_none_58e3e3d7e415ae4c\csrss.exe abca209eba02cb59233614db83b4f50d c:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-csrss_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_none_56ad21dbe72a9d78\csrss.exe 117b7c8a8b026a5dce5e3180ed05e823

      So the new version is identical in both of its directories. But there is an older version (6.0.6000.16386) hang out there.

      One last thing: when I look into a review process advantage 3rd, 596 PID and PID 652 tool appear as:

      Version 6.0.6001.18000 time: 2008-01-19 03:33

      And when I run the equivalent of the UNIX 'strings' command against them, I find that both contain the following (among others):

      version = "5.1.0.0.

      Is this normal? Or do I have to remove the old file csrss.exe?

    2. Csrss.exe does need access to the wider internet, or only certain addresses in the range of the internet on my home network behind my firewall/router; or only the loopback address?  Because Zonealarm says sometimes csrss.exe is asked for internet access. And when I allow it, it okays two access my local network and to the internet as a whole.  This behavior is normal? For now, I have disabled access to the wider internet of csrss.exe, and I'm limiting access to machines behind my firewall. I would like to be able to restrict it to my loopback address.  Nothing wrong with that?
    Thank you!

  • Question about Dell OEM: SLP Windows 7 Installation disk domestic; can it be installed and activated on other computers from Dell?

    I bought a Dell installation disk and I want to use it to install a better version of Windows on my Dell PC. I have windows Vista and I want to use it to update my OS Windows7 Home Premium. However, the license type is SLP:OEM and no detail... not sure what SLP: OEM means... I thought that the OS discs are the same. Someone told me no retail editions are not suitable for a new OS, but I'm confused. The disc says, Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit, but didn't holograms who have all MS OS disks and the disk is labeled for use with a Dell system only, if the means it will work very well on my Dell PC? The label does not which brand or model this disc is for, but said only for the Dell PC which is my PC. I'm assuming, the disk won't work on all Dells, maybe someone can offer suggestions, any help is much appreciated. Thank you!

  • General questions about errors in eventvwr

    Greetings.

    I have a general question about some failed modules are stored in the Windows Event Viewer.

    An error leading to the crashes some applications that I've seen several times now when supporting computer problems is something like this:
    (Windows error reporting) Fault bucket, Type 0, name of the event: PCA2, (...) P1: application.exe, (...)

    I wonder what this 'PCA2. Which is a kind of module Windows handles tasks such as allocating memory or smth. Like this? What could be the cause of these errors (physical memory problems / corrupt swap file / insufficient rights?)

    Same Question for the application falls down because of "kernelbase.dll" as in:
    (Application error) Failing application: application.exe, Version: 0.0.0.0, (...) Failed module: KERNELBASE.dll, Version: 6.1.7601.18015, (...) Path of the failing module: C:\Windows\syswow64\KERNELBASE.dll (...)

    What is the .dll file and what could possibly cause kernelbase.dll Fault?

    The application can be a bit buggy, but I wonder what could possibly cause these accidents and if there is a way to fix these problems - or what dev did wrong.

    The two errors occur mainly on x 64 systems - especially Windows 7/vista

    Kind regards

    With application errors, the application is called everything first and the module he collaborated with is named second. Normally you should try to reinstall the application if you see not to repeat the mistakes. If this does not work, you go to the forum on the application to see if other users see the same error. There may be a bug in the application.

    The observer of the Application event log contains Information reports (event ID: 1001) for errors where the details were sent to Microsoft for review. You will find that there are corresponding to the event ID: 1000 reports errors, either in the system or Application logs. These reports are also included in the center of the Action. Center type action in the area of research above the Start button and press ENTER. Click on the arrow pointing downwards to the right of Maintenance, and then click view reliability history. The errors reported are the Red orbs with a white cross. You can search for solutions to problems, but occasionally you get a significant response from Microsoft.

    I can't tell you what it means PCA2. Google did not find a significant result. The reports themselves are not unintelligible, although I have never tried to understand the meaning of a particular report. I have extracted what, in my view, is a starting point of two reports:
    Event name: PCA2 = P1: motherboard_utility_onoffchargesetup.exe P2: 4.65.0.0

    Event name: PCA2 = P1: setup.exe P2: 11.0.0.28844

    You have the app in the boredom and the version of the file. These details have been extracted a file of information system to a computer with a card mother Gigabyte. So, you see I have a starting point, if I wanted to determine the cause of a failure.

    I will say before you go dive deep into each event ID: 1001 report that many are not easy to even begin to understand. However, they can provide useful clues.

    KERNELBASE.dll is likely to be the module with which the application works. You need to focus on the application.  KERNELBASE is probably preceded by P3 or P4 in the report?

    I just ordered a HP 50 g graphic calculator! I have a few questions about this so hang on tight! What is the USB connector on the calculator? Mini-USB, micro USB, or is it a connector owner, "custom". Then, it would be possible to connect a keyboard to the HP 50 g by using the USB Port? Is there a program that would make this possible? (I doubt it would work if you plug it..) I have a Mini-USB to female USB 2.0 connector. So I could just plug the keyboard right, provided that the port on the calculator is a Mini-USB Port. If this is not so that I could use my female to female USB adaptor to connect the keyboard.

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Concerning

    Hello

    I am about to order a Satellite P300 - 18 M and have just a few questions about this:

    (Although these may apply for other similar Satellite/Equium P300.)

    Is the touchpad made by / to use the Alps or Synaptics driver?

    It has the Wireless N network card, is the map made by Intel or Realtec?

    And also, someone has experience with face recognition software to connect?

    If so, does it take a lot of time to initalise?

    Thanks in advance,
    Jack

    Hello

    The P300 - 18M belongs to the PSPCCE series.
    It uses the two touchpad drivers. Synaptics & Alps Electric
    There is an Intel 802.11agn minicards WLan installed

    The face recognition is a nice tool but local to be illuminated and you must take your face the right of the post sometimes it of not very easy

    But if you face is recognized correctly that the connection should work properly

  • A few questions about the difference between the Satellite P70, L70, S70

    Hello, I have a lot of questions about the P70, L70, S70 series that come with a 1920 x 1080 panel.

    (1) what are the differences between the L70 and S70 series? With the exception of the RAM and HARD drive capacity, books seem pretty identical.

    (2) P70, L70, S70 doesn't support a 2nd HARD drive or it's just the P70 series that support?

    (3) all the three (P70, L70, S70 series) come with the same TFT panels?

    (4) of the above series, which supports mSata?

    (5) all the model of each series are delivered with support from mSata? For example, it could be that L70 - a - 13 m supports mSata is not the case of the L70-a-146?

    (6) all the foregoing, are delivered with a S - ATA II or III S - ATA interface?

    (7) who is the best of these series listed? I'm trying to understand what makes the big difference of S70 to P70 except for the envelope for example.

    Thank you in advance.

    > (1) what are the differences between the series L70 and S70? With the exception of the RAM and HARD drive capacity, books seem pretty identical.

    What models Sat L70 and S70 do you mean exactly? There are different L70-xxx-xxx and S70 models on the market that supports different hardware specifications.

    (> S70 2) P70, L70, support a 2nd drive HARD or is - it just the series P70 that support?
    As you can see in this [Sam P70 HDD replacement document, | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/CRU3903II0000R01.htm] the P70 series supports the 2nd drive Bay HARD, BUT even if there is a 2nd HARD drive Bay, this does not mean that you can use the 2nd HARD drive. In the case where the 2nd HARD drive Bay are equipped with HARD drive connector, you can use the 2nd HARD drive

    I also found the [Sam L70/S70 HDD replacement | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/CRU3703HG0000R01.htm] the document on the Toshiba page and there I see this 2nd HARD drive Bay is not available

    (> 3) all three (P70, L70, S70 series) come with the same TFT panels?
    See point 1). Different P70, L70, S70 models were equipped with different material parts.

    (> 4) of the series above, which takes in charge mSata?
    As far as I know that some P70 models are equipped with an mSATA SSD of 256 GB.

    (> 5) do all the model of each series are delivered with support mSata? For example, it could be that L70 - a - 13 m supports mSata is not the case of the L70-a-146?
    See point 4) not all models supports the same hardware specifications

    (> 6) all of the above, come with a S - ATA II or III S - ATA interface?
    I don t think that SATA III is supported. I guess it would be SATA II

    (> 7) which is the best of these series listed? I'm trying to understand what makes the big difference of S70 to P70 except for the envelope for example.
    Not easy to answer because there are too many models released in Europea.
    And not all models are available in each country. So I guess you will have to look for the models that have been released in your country.

  • Satellite L650-11R - a few questions about this

    Hello there :-)

    I have a few questions about my new L650.

    I've never had Toshiba notebook before so I apologize if some of these "quirks" are actually quite normal on this laptop. I really want to hear the views of other users L650.

    1)
    First of all, by the time I turned it on I saw gradient thin (1-2 mm) along the right edge of the screen that goes from the bottom up. Maybe "degraded" isn't the right word, but it seems that since two or three pixels are kind of discoloration or lose brightness/sharpness to the edge along the straight bezel. It is not really that visible, looks like the colors are desaturated a bit here or brightness is a bit lacking. He can be seen everywhere (bios or no color in Windows, but better in the lighter background).
    The left side (or other) seems ok, all this along the right edge is somewhat suspicious. If one can compare? I don't know if it's something to worry about or is just supposed to be like that.

    2)
    The other thing I noticed heating of the processor (Intel i3 330M) and GPU (ATi Mobility Radeon 5650). It's pretty hot here right now (I would say that the temperature is around 28 degrees Celsius when using cell phones). He is sitting on the hard surface (table) and nothing is blocking the vents.
    However, at "rest" (surf the web & regular light stuff), average CPU temp hovers around 58 ° C. It usually goes from 45 to 62 in just a few minutes after starting, and then I can hear and see (Toshiba PC Health Monitor) evacuate the kicks in. Temp goes back to 50 +, event stops and then the temp rises to 60 + until the vent is used again.
    During load full (Prime95 or some games), CPU is going all the way up to 75 degrees (the highest being 77). Fan runs at 75 to 77% during this time, never go faster.

    GPU idling is usually around 5 degrees above temp CPU (62-65). During full load (for example. Benchmark of Far Cry 2), I see a lot of stuttering with the latest drivers Catalyst and DX10 (not sure if the stuttering has something to do with heat), otherwise it is ok (no artifacts or anything like that). Temp of GPU during the loading goes up to 74-75, fan speed is locked at 30%, the frequency of the heart 5650 is 450 MHz. left side of the laptop (vent and below) is pretty hot, while the keyboard is warm (or slightly warmer who who).

    These time seems correct and safe in the long term? I'd rather events works all the time (they aren't really very strong) and keeping time less than 50, but there are just wishful pious bios control events and I can't control not the bios. :-)

    3)
    This is just General related products. :-)
    Official specifications of Toshiba L650 say ATi 5650 (between other low range GPU), but I saw a few specifications calling for there 5730 (same model 11R). Is there really a Satellite L650 with ATi 5730 GPU models?

    Sorry for the long post, I tried to include the best possible description that I could do. :-)

    Thank you in advance.

    Thanks for the additional info!
