In the past two weeks, my XP Pro machine seems to have been hijacked by a process taking between 90% and 99% of the CPU. It's ciscv.exe - the Windows Indexing Service. I can turn it off, but is there any way of stopping this process permanently?

Go to Start, select Run, type services.msc and click OK. Look for Indexing Service in the resulting list, right-click it, and select Properties. Find the box called "Start-up type" and change the drop-down menu to Disabled. A quicker way is to download and double click a file from Kelly's Korner, which will change your registry.
