All comments about LVPrcSrv.exe: Gerätetreiber Logitech Quickcam 5000   Greenhorn It creates problems for some MSI installations. In my case, It prevented installation of Perforce on my laptop. Killing the process fixed the problem.   Eddie QuickCam   Logitech webcam driver for laptop   ROY makes many error messages come up when i reboot and also some rather annoying drwatson errors with some programs. removing the proccess doesnt work as it restarts on bootup. windows task manager doesnt pick it up only my security task manager   pwn this file running hard disk   nurettin alp Lots of trouble with this service.   Willem Can be disabled, see Kaspersky Labs Forum below  See also: Link   Mike Marshall Sometimes it eats up 60% of the CPU time, even if no Webcam is connected. Keep an eye on this buggy process, when your system is getting slowly for no reason.   Wildcard Caused errors on my system every time I started a program until I disabled it from starting - that was a few months ago and since disabling havent had much problems since  See also: Link   Chris my firewall indicates that tries to inject harmful code into a variety of locations. it's proven to be nothing butt trouble. unexplained reboots, sudden blank screens, just a freakin headache   It causes problems with Cygwin; disabling it causes the Logitech "video effects" to fail without taking down the parent process. If you run Cygwin, disable it. Otherwise, it's fine.  See also: Link   KSH This is a driver for digital cameras. It is not dangorus but is not needed if you are not using camera   Zippybug14 It is the driver for Logitech quick cam for laptop   Panagiotis (Greece) Not malicious, but can cause unrecoverable crashes. I think it is wrong for a hardware driver to monitor user processes, however benign the intent. There are better ways.   Simon Hill If you have Xne way to help ensure that QuickCam (LVPrcSrv.exe) will run is to set its compatibility mode to Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2).

Causes problems on Portable when camera not present - PC fails to shutdown correctly. LVPrcSrv gets locked in a loop consuming large resources while stalling the shutdown. Set service to Manual start as temp workaround.   Derek Archibald It tries to access other application memory (warning from oupost firewall). I've been looking whether this means trouble. Can't find anything yet.   john To prevent this from running at startup on XP Pro, I went into Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Services, found the entry for Process Monitor (with the ominous sounding description of Injector service) and set it to Disabled. The other associated Logitech services I had were named LVCOMSer and LVSrvLauncher, which I've also disabled as I no longer use the Webcam.   Csaba Seems to access memory space of other applications   kerykeion Installed with Logitech QuickCam Drivers/Software - Safe  See also: Link   SB All I know is that after I installed my web cam and the software I downloaded for it, I started having problems. It seemed to interfere with an application that reads ane writes a lot of files. After a while the lvprcsrv.exe task was using all the cpu. I couldn't even get the cursor to move. So after a reboot, and reading about lvprcsrv.exe, I renamed the file and haven't seen the problem since. And my web cam still works.   leptonjim Causes a LOT of troubles.   Jason Causes Avast Google Chrome problem.In conjunction with Avast it appears to block access to web when using Google Chrome.
