| it make your PC in high CPU Usage, beware zakumo | |
| It is a process used for Real Player. It is not a virus/adware/malware, but after playing CounterStrike: Source for about an hour it uses up between 1GB to 1.5GB of memory out of my 2GB total physical memory, which causes my system to be non-functional. This is a huge bug. JoshGriffin | |

| It seems that there is some error with Realplayer that causes it to in some cases randomly spike you CPU and eat up massive resources. Not sure what causes it. | |
| It's part of RealPlayer. It has some irritating processing leak or something. My Quad core processor is sitting at 25% all the time because of this. Try updating RealPlayer to the most recent version. HexZyle | |
| Is sometimes listed twice in Windows Task Mgr. suspicious! crabby | |
| This is an adware (similar to a virus), if it takes up a large percentage of your CPU, I strongly recommend you ask whichever anti-virus program you are using to move it to the virus vault. Naughty shrink | |
| Eats up huge amounts of CPU memory, even when I'm not using it. Considering removing the program. Had the worse time working on my computer while this thing hogged up memory. Lisa | |
