Its Windows' indexing service. Consumes a lot of CPU time and page file space...

The symptoms are as follows:

• The current CPU utilization is high.
• The size of the pagefile may be as large as 1.2 GB or more.
• The Cidaemon.exe process uses lots of pagefile space and lots of CPU time.

To solve this:

To resolve the issue, turn off the Indexing service. To turn off the Indexing service, follow these steps:
1. Double-click My Computer, point to Explorer Bar on the View menu, and then click Search.
2. Click Change preferences, and then click Without Indexing Service.
3. Click No, do not enable Indexing Service, and then click OK
