Seems to be related to Norton Ghost, but it has a lot of I/O reads to the hard drive, which can slow things down

Administrative service for scheduling and disk imaging.

It is located in my Norton Ghost/Agent folder and is obviously a Ghost process.

It is Norton Ghost and it only eats up CPU when it is not working right for me. I reboot and that solves the issue.

Ich nutze zur Image-Sicherung PowerQuest. Oft zieht der Prozess PQV2iSvc.exe mein System in den Keller - 100% Auslastung. Ich deaktiviere PQV2iSvc.exe via TaskManager. Hat bis jetzt noch keine Nachteile gebracht. Aber nach dem Wochenende mach ich es noch besser - ich deinstalliere PowerQuest und wechsle zu Acronis. Die habe dann hoffentlich keine merkwürdigen "Nebenprogramme"!!!
