    Angry Unknown Process drains system resources!

    Hi. Does anyone know what this is and how I can disable it? I can't find it anywhere in the Sys Admin-Services menu.

    It appears as ENTROP~1.EXE. I don't know but I'm guessing that it might have something to do with the Entropia client - Fight Aids@home & United Devices - which I have both installed on my system but the thing is that this service appears even when I don't run any of those.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!
    Phoebus

    PS Whatever this is it's REALLY eating up my system resources!

    If you are running United Devices or Seti, your cpu will always run at 100%. Both these programs are designed to take up all spare cycles, but are set to a low priority so that everything else calls on the cpu first.

    i think there's settings you can do so that it only runs during your screen saver... or just UNINSTALL IT.
