evntsrc.exe

can anyone tell me what this is? all of a sudden it started showing up in my processes window, and when it runs it slows my comp down to a near halt.. i cannot find what program, if any, it is associated with or where it came from.. i ran a search on my comp, including hidden and system files and it came back with no results! i don't know where this is even located on my comp, but it starts up by itself and i will close it, but inexplicably the next time i check my processes it will be there again..

does anyone know what this is or where it comes from, and how i can get it off of my computer?

It looks like it means event source ,having said that i don't know what it is you could look in run/msconfig and see if its there and uncheck it ,so it won't load in startup .i did a google search and found only this .

i did what you said and it was there.. it turns out it has something to do with the real player automatic update.. i unchecked it and it has stopped showing up and the comp is running smooth..

thanks a lot.. :)
