Serviio

For about two weeks my computer has been having spikes in CPU usage. I couldn't figure it out at first, and ran malware scanners and virus scanners which came back with nothing. Eventually I realised I could use Task Manager and Process Explorer to figure out what was doing it.

Here are screenshots of it happening three times in Task Manager: http://i.imgur.com/kaDMa.png

and here's a screenshot of Process Explorer, with normal activity on the Left hand Side, and CPU topped out at 100% on the right hand side: http://i.imgur.com/nqcH4.png

Each time, the culprit is ServiioService.exe causing the problem.

Having read previous messages in this forum, I unchecked every option in the Metadata tab in the Console, but I am still having issues of the CPU spiking and my computer pausing. This happens every 5-10 minutes or so and lasts around a second. It's extremely annoying, especially when I'm typing or watching a video.

I don't know what else to do other than uninstall the software, which I don't want to.. Please help!

It might be caused by Java's garbage collection (freeing memory tht is not needed any more).

Thanks... So what do I do to fix it?

Not much, unless you want to dive into garbage collection settings in Java.

You could try to update Java in case they made some changes.
