Anybody else had their computer crippled by kservice.exe?

Installing BBCi, 4od and such means you get this annoying process that keeps freezing up Windows. Apparently, the only way to get rid of it permanently is to unistall the afore-mentioned applications so I'm left with killing the process in Task Manager. Bunch of arsch!

It allows you to switch on/off OnDemand software.

They don't tell you when you download these on demand programs that they'll secretly take up half your CPU time do they.

 

They do if your read the terms and conditions before you accepted them - You did read them didn't you. (doh)
