All comments about ipssvc.exe: Jerry I could have been loaded when I added the new ibm update program.......when I looked in properties it showed a strange user (string of numbers and letters) and as i was looking at it it disapeared Rick This appears to be a file used by Lenovo in their IBM computers 'enhancement' (spyware). I read recently that the US gov. was investigating the spyware they have included with the operating systems. Lenovo claims this is to allow them to provide better service to users, but it still sends user information and activity info to Lenovo. After battling issues for 1/2 a week on several Lenovo computers, I did a complete disk reformat and installed windows xp OEM. Downloading the drivers was a pain, though.  See also: Link AgBlue The IPS Core Service causes Symantec 10.1 to have Tamper Protection Alerts Continuously. Disabling that service stopped the Tamper errors. No idea the purpose of the service. I have an IBM Thinkpad X40. Saw this service on other X40 models, but no other models. Part of the Away Manager at my Tinkpad Michael My TP seemed to stall once in a while. The process took a lot of CPU ressources while running. The process was easily killed and the file could be renamed to .ex_ without a problem.
