Causes Avast Google Chrome problem.In conjunction with Avast it appears to block access to web when using Google Chrome. Took ages to find out what was causing it. Stopping this process corrected the problem

Causes a LOT of troubles.

All I know is that after I installed my web cam and the software I downloaded for it, I started having problems. It seemed to interfere with an application that reads ane writes a lot of files. After a while the lvprcsrv.exe task was using all the cpu. I couldn't even get the cursor to move. So after a reboot, and reading about lvprcsrv.exe, I renamed the file and haven't seen the problem since. And my web cam still works.

Seems to access memory space of other applications

To prevent this from running at startup on XP Pro, I went into Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Services, found the entry for Process Monitor (with the ominous sounding description of Injector service) and set it to Disabled. The other associated Logitech services I had were named LVCOMSer and LVSrvLauncher, which I've also disabled as I no longer use the Webcam.

It tries to access other application memory (warning from oupost firewall). I've been looking whether this means trouble. Can't find anything yet.

Part of Logitech software. Causes problems on Portable when camera not present - PC fails to shutdown correctly. LVPrcSrv gets locked in a loop consuming large resources while stalling the shutdown. Set service to Manual start as temp workaround.
