So far, I've only been able to stop it with a good firewall. A firewall because SearchIndexer.exe attempts to access the internet. This is only one of the programs that Microsoft uses to hijack your computer and transmit data elsewhere. Microsoft :mad: has been using such programs since they figured out that they could use online software registration as an opening to collect data on your computer system and not just the one piece of software that you were willingly registering at that time. -- future1investor

Do some research before posting this fake information, SeachIndexer does not do what you have just stated.

Ok "searchindexer.exe" is not a virus and it is a Windows program. You can remove it by uninstalling "Windows Search 4.0". This program just indexes files on your computer so if you search for them in the future it will be a quicker search. Good luck. Hope this helps. -- rayross87
