Sometimes, I am not sure when, but I think sponatesouly/randomly, HelpSvc.exe gets executed and eats CPU power and like 70 mb RAM.

Anyone know why is this?

I did a search for HelpSvc.exe and found;

* C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\helpsvc.exe

* C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\HelpSvc.exe

Both files are 726 KB.

Anyone know how to make it not run?

When it runs, it runs in the background invisibly.
