It came with my Sony Ericsson W880i PC suite and is required to connect the phone to the PC via Bluetooth or cable.

It's part of th Sony Ericsson Phone Kit, but It can cause video stuttering and audio problems if it becomes corrupt. A full uninstall is necessary to fix the problem.

synchronize sony phone with pc
jan

its for sony ericson phones to connect to you pc, i would advise to kill it if your not using it to connect your phone as it checks for phone connectivity approximatly every 15 secounds and will make your computer jerk for a second each time it serches for a device.

Got the sony ericsson k790i, and epmworker.exe running in the taskmanager, it lacks my system, although I got a 3.0 P4 CPU, 4x512 megabyte pc3200 Dual-ch. 2x74 Gigs WD Raptor (Raid0), and Asus 9800XT AGP card, it lacks my com, badly!

It is spyware

It makes an active window not active for 2-3 seconds, every 10 seconds. On my pc it is impossible to type anything, while this process is working, because when the window is inactive for few seconds, it doesn't accept letters you type. After killing this process, everything is working properly, but I can't synchronize my SonyEricsson phone with my pc anymore. I'm using WinXP and other ORIGINAL software.

SonyEricsson uses it to detect a phone connection via USB. The file is constantly using up a percentage of your CPU and can cause lags. Remove the file from startup if so and start the software manually.

Wird mit der Sony Ericsson PC-Suite installiert, braucht ungemeine Prozessor Ressourcen, wird korrekt deinstalliert soweit ich sehe, ist unnötig.

Gehört zur Handysoftware von SonyEricsson.

yes, comes with sonyericsson phonesoftware

Installed with Sony Ericsson PC Suite. was consuming a lot of CPU time on my machine although no phone was connected. Had to kill the exe through task manager after which the performance improved.

This process maybe harmless/useless, but it uses up a hell of a lot of resoureces. Keeping your processor running constantly for nothing!

Ist ein Bestandteil von Sony Ericsson Software für mein W810i

Handles SonyEricsson Mobile Phone connection to the PC. If you have SE Phone software installed, it probably belongs there. Otherwise, it's not legit.
