Hi Guys,

I had a problem with Win2K PC: it run extremely slow...In order to even open program menu I had to wait almost a minute..
when I opened task manager - had a service "svcas.exe" which was taking up a lot of space. After I killed his process, it instantly show up again starting with mem usage in about 1000k and going to up to 184000k in about couple minutes.
It resided in C:\WINNT\addins. I had references of this file in registry, which I could not remove.

Does anybody knows what this process is? I have tried to search for it, but there is no information on it.

Thank you.
Tanya

PS. I shredded this file and it seems to fix a problem...
