cisvc.exe (Microsoft Content Index Service)

cisvc.exe is an integrated process Microsoft in Windows OSAnd is designed to system monitor Indexing Service to avoid high consumption of resources by the latter (RAM si CPU). Also cisvc.exe monitors and other situations where the system is slowed due insufficient memory. However, sometimes while working, process itself can get to consume between 90% and 100% of system resourcesWhich leads to slow its operation. Some of the most important causes of this situation are:

1. cisvc.exe has monitored more services and programs running at the same time at a time, which can cause a reaction like the one described above (in the process consumes a lot of resources). Most of the times a simple restart can solve this problemBut sometimes it takes a few small tweakuri of the indexing service of Windowscommunity.

2. Sometimes during an intensive monitoring of system resources, cisvc.exe can prevent the use of certain devices attached to the system or some applications.

Therefore, if you notice that the cisvc.exe process consumes a lot CPU, this being the main cause for slowing down the system, the problem may be its infection with the respective spyware. Also, if you try to delete or stop the process and it does not disappear, it is another sign that it is not the real cisvc.exe and that the PC is infected.
