It is installed into your computer when you use Micro Innovations or Ezonics Web Cam. It runs the CPU at 100%. However, if you go into task manager, and close it down. it brings the CPU usage down and will not affect your web cam. There is no damage to the computer, it justs makes it run slow. It is more annoying than anything.

This is awful! It maxes out my cpu usage on boot-up and locks everything up. Shutting it down thru task manager doesn't seem to be detrimental in any way to any other processes or applications. When I figure out where it came from, I'll let you know. Am thinking infection of some kind, as this just started out of the blue while I was online last night. Trend Housecall did not pick it up. This is odd.

I just installed the micro Innovations web cam when it showed up and the task manager said it is set to 100% cpu usage. Reason I noticed was it made my computer so slow it was useless, untill I used task manager to end the process. Now to rid it for good...no camera I can deal with, no computer worth using BIG PROBLEM! ;)

It is being used for a Micro Innovations Webcam. It seems to be essential for the camera to operate but locks up most applications on the computer. Holds the processor at 100% the entire time it is running.
