It is part of highpoint but is a disaster to let run takes 100% cycle time Since I am only running JOBD I removed it now my drives are lightning fast.

When you try to end this task by the task manager, the confirmation window quickly shuts, disabling you from ending the process. Also, Windows keeps trying to warn you it is a virus, but the process quickly shuts that window, too, giving you only a half of a second to see it.
