Major CPU hog. Uninstall Speed Disk and get Diskeeper; it's faster and more transparent.

I do not own and have never installed Norton System Works 2003 onto my PC, i have this file sitting in my computer and while it runs, i get adware popups like crazy, when i close this process, the popups go away. Beware as Malware could try to use this name for its dirty deeds !

If running when not wanted, just enter Norton and stop it. Set your defragmentation schedules to match your needs.

Net info says it's Norton. I don't have norton. System was d r a g i n g. Delted NOPDB.exe using TaskManager and BINGO my PC is responsive again! Whopie! Yea! Sorry got carried away.

Here's the rundown for the less technically inclined - Norton Speed Disk will eat CPU and make your system slow down WHEN it's running, but when it finishes the defrag, your system will run considerably faster than if you hadn't run it. If it's annoying you, here's the solution - in the Norton Speed Disk interface, click View Global Options... Set Priority slider to Low, set Memory slider to Low, click Apply, then click OK. It will take more time to defrag this way, but it will be considerably less annoying. Running on Win 2K, and it's the best defrag utility I know.

It's bogging my system down
   

NOPDB.exe To Britt - 12 down from top: If you "End Process", you DON'T need to reboot to run Speedisk (Norton 2007). All you have to do is just start Speedisk and it will re-enter NOPDB.exe in processes, but unless started (the application), it doesn't take up as much CPU as it did without Speedisk NOT running. Just checked it. Defrag is scheduled but not open or minimized. I noticd it when running Norton Antivirus 2007, AFTER thescan was complete and the app closed, it was taking my CPU to 90% - I have 3 Ghx, 1 GB RAM. No, Norton hasn't explored this carefully enough, IMO.

Speed Disk will not run if you deny it in Zonealarm. You must shut down all internet Activity. It will only become a CPU hog if you manually start it or you've setup Speedisk as a scheduled task.

Crashes everytime I leave my computer idle for more than an hour, therefore not required if it's not running most of the time anyway.
   

Its a tool for defragging your hard drive of course its gonna make the hard drive churn and slow your computer down. The purpose of it is to defrag the hard drive so your computer can access data faster AFTER its done running. Set the freaking thing to manual and run it manually before you go to the crapper. When ya get back it will be done

Google confirms this is a process of Norton Utilities Speed Disk (a disk defragment program) Leave it alone. Speed disk will operate at 20% frag level by default or at any other frag level you set within Utilities Scheduling

norton file. it suck all mem + can't kill it. even as System user. just restart....

Also in NIS 2007. Never, ever, run speed disk on an home XP/SP2 NTFS system. It fragments every file on the drive near as I can tell. Never puts them back together.

A norton utility, i thought so, just did a quick google check because its causing my computer to make "reading disc whirring" noises, although it does not degrade performance, it use 4% of my AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+
