Don't mean to high jack this thread but after using the task man I found a lot of process's running. I found this site http://www.blackviper.com/ that has a lot of Windows info about these running process's but is this a legit site? I'm looking for something to tell me it's ok to shut down this process with screwing up the PC.
Well, I've searched all around also for ways to shut it down and to see if it was dangerous to do it. I know my PC ran fine without it before and all the details about it show it as a search enhancement pack only. I found 3 things to change (temporarily, if you decide to go back) to stop it and could be undone easily if you change your mind but don't think you will.
1. Stop the service from running and disable it.
2. Stop DCOM process from attempting to start it.
3. rename the .exe file
I have Skype installed on the laptop I'm using at the moment and I do not have seaport.exe running.
Guess that's not where mine came from then, from Skype that is. Strange that it just appeared like it did with firewall on and updates off (but don't consider it an update).
