Nero Scout

Just recently I found my computer freezing up with 100% used CPU due to the process NmIndexStoreSvr.exe.
It is not spyware or a virus, even though it damn well could be, as it does you more harm than good.

It's a sidekick utility of Nero Burner called "Nero Scout". This idiotic piece of software works by indexing all the media files on your computer so you don't have to browse for them when you want to use them with Nero.

These three are known processes of Nero Scout:
NmIndexStoreSvr.exe
NMBgMonitor.exe
NMFirstStart.exe

Here's how to disable this piece of junk on Nero Burner v. 7:
1. Open Nero Home
2. Open the options/configuration tab
3. Scroll down to, and click "Nero Scout"
4. Press the button "Configure Nero Scout"
5. Uncheck the "Activate Nero Scout" in the top left corner.

Reboot your computer. Voila!

If you still are experiencing problems after the reboot;

1. Click on the Start button and choose Run
2. Type the following line
regsvr32 /u "%COMMONPROGRAMFILES%\Ahead\Lib\MediaLibraryNSE.dll"
3. Click OK and reboot your PC.

VS 2008 will be Released in November
