What is it?
Description: Microsoft Index Service Helper, a service that monitors the memory usage of Microsoft Indexing Service (cidaemon.exe) and automatically re-starts cidaemon.exe if it uses more than 40 MB of memory.
What it isn't: a security risk
It's needed if you've set up any of your drives or directories to be indexed. Without it running, you could potentially invite a memory "hole", as the indexing service would not clear its RAM usage, as it goes.
If you are not indexing anything, there's no need for it to run, so...
1. click on start -> all programs -> administrative tools -> services
2. click on the "standard" tab
3. (sorted by Name) go down to "Indexing Service" -> double click
4. note that in the properties, it's described as "CiSvc"... (you've got the right one)
5. change the "Startup type" to 'Disabled'
6. click on "Apply"
7. click on "Stop" (if available)
Now, you should notice that your cycles come back to you and in the future, this process will not automatically start up. If, in the future, you find that your memory is mysteriously disappearing on you, try stopping ALL indexing on your drives (i.e. removing this service) and rebooting your computer.
