It's from nvidia, I've read that it doubles the real memory size of the graphic card by compressing data. It slows the cpu a lot.

NVidia says it's not theirs. Aparently some OEMs use it to fake larger memory.

It is definately spyware. My 64mb video card does was only running at 32mb even with this process running. 1) Kill the process 2) Delete the file 3) Re-install your Video Card

It only takes up a lot of CPU processing and keep the computer busy. It isn't necessary for the computer.

i'd like to say that this is the prime reason why my pc was unstable before - i never saw this problem til i run some probes.turns out, as it uses more cpu memory, my pc heats up to 55 degrees celcius. i tried to remove it but i'm having error during boot up.turn out, it really is a g-force video card program.i just instructed everyone at home to terminate this program after booting. i haven't got any problem since then.i considered it dangerous because it really heats up your pc if you don't terminate it after boot up.
