Task manager is showing me 100% of disk in use because of that... It's using 70%. Don't have to be a genius to know that something is wrong about that, so if anyone knows anything about it, I would appreciate a lot if you send me an email on "alain.chaaya3@gmail.com" describing the issue as much as you can. Thanks in advance.

I found your additional posts on sedsvc and remediation service useful and informative.
I'm used to Microsoft delving into the etymology of the word "exec" in response to the inquiry: what is it?, What does it do? Should I remove it?
Microsoft's description of sedsvc as sedsvc seems to encapsulate the whole issue :-) ... thanks

It uses 100% of your resources without asking as a malware does. Makes my laptop stutter then, boots me from internet connection and makes every wifi connection disappear. Only way to get internet connections back is to turn computer off and reboot.

These programs are legit (if they are in fact HTTPS aquired from Microsoft, don't fall for a E-mail suggesting you download any of these). The sneaky thing is that regardless of your anti phishing malware antivirus settings, by allowing some of them, they are forced into your operating system. I smell fish,,,, when I have no power over something that is forced into my system. All in the good name or description of "For the Greater Good". Be carefull what you allow in, as it almost always results in changes down the road that have a history of being nefarious.
