Seems to be a badly written driver! Support says that it only uses 100% if installed wrong ..... though reinstalled several times nothing changed

It takes up 99% of my CPU and slows everything down - I'm using Win XP. Each time I boot my m/c I disable the programme without any problems.
Jack Giles

I use it with a Lifevideo 3000 and gives me no problem, CPU usage is almost 0% (I have the newest version) remote doesn´t work if you disable it.

Its a service needed for the remote control of a Lifeview 3000 TV Card, if you not have a TV Card be carefull it probably be a virus, spyware, malware or some like that.

This file IS certainly the cause of 100% CPU usage on my machine, and comes with the Lifeview TV Capture card software. It can be temporarily romoved b th obvious course in Task Manager. It is an annoyance which is essentual if you want to use the remote aspect of the Lifeview card.
