Question: ipodservice.exe – how to remove ipodservice.exe process ?

There was some problem of speed in My Computer, when I was monitoring the Windows Task Manager’s Process List and I found ipodservice.exe. Does any one knows about ipodservice ? Is it any system process or user process ? I have been using Norton Antivirus and it has not detected it as virus or worm, so is it related to any spy ware? Please tell me how this file ipodservice.exe showed up and how can I remove this ipodservice.exe process and will it generate any windows error ? Is there any ipodservice.exe removal tool or utility available ?

Hi,

Frankly speaking, i don't know the exact answer for your question but may be it free up system resources.

iPodService.exe should be running from the time you boot up the computer. The reason for this may be that itunes starts automatically whenever you plug-in your ipod.

Do I need to run this processes, if I use my IPOD frequently?
