VzFw.exe and VzCdbSvc.exe issues

Does anyone know what these actually do and if they can be removed? I think they're part of giga pocket (whatever that is), or something. all I know is I noticed the harddrive running a lot and when I opened the resource monitor it showed they were sucking a lot of CPU power, too.

Can they be removed/stopped?

 

Yes you can shut them. They are filecrawlers, indexing the multimedia files on your computer. Just disable the folders that the application is monitoring (vaio zone).

 

Cool, thanks. As in, go into vaio zone and there's a setting for which folders to monitor and set it to none? wonder if i could also disable them in windows services.

 

I am using my business notebook at the moment right now (Dell Latitude) and I can't tell wheter they are services or not. However I strongly believe that if they are services, you should be able to disable them without any concern. If something goes awy, you can always enable them back.

 

yeah--they are. i disabled them last night. i turned off all the sony stuff except the event manager. I never use any of the entertainment stuff...

Thanks for your help.
