This could be to do with video game installations, especially Fitgirl repacks. Jordan
It is just a process used while unpacking compressed files. It uses a lot of processing and RAM power for the unpacking. It then executes itself after the unpack. It usually comes with FitGirl repacks (it's a pirate game distributer) Sid
Safe to delete it. It does indeed come with FitGirl video game repacks. Uploaded to virus scan 86% clean. just delete it if it's still there after game installation as it's no longer needed. Jay
Mr Jordan is right. It is used in the installation process of Repacks. Uses high amounts of memory if allowed. Limit its memory usage to 2Gb and it should work very well (but slowly). No problems at all if you have plenty of RAM to spare (32Gb or more for example). Cedro_Doc
Appered when i was instaling pirate Seriuos sam 4 , antivirus deleted it. Kai
Yes it comes with cracked video games. Like dodi repacks, Fitgirl repacks etc KhoNick

compression program used with cracked game installations. safe, but takes a lot of processing power. Vanya
Program used by "FitGirl repacks", for those who are having "licence misunderstandings" for games, you know what i mean... ;-) anonymous

Unpacker. Will use all available CPU and memory while in operation but should disappear after it has finished processing files. It should never appear in StartUp. If it is starting with Windows, that is likely not a legitimate unpacker. Ravenwood

Best practices for resolving CLS-srep_x64 issues
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with CLS-srep_x64. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To get your computer running as fast as it did on day one, you can 8reset your PC. Your personal files will remain intact, but any programs you installed will need to be reinstalled.
