ErrorI’m still getting a lot of traffic from people looking for Seaport.exe and how to remove it - Seaport.exe, a battle of the cloud. It’s not a virus, it’s an app from Microsoft for souping up search. If you want to disable it here’s how:

    Thought I’d let you know that there’s an error in the instructions. In the 2nd Instruction Set, it states to “[click] hide all microsoft services”. Since it is a Microsoft product, clicking to hide all of their products results in the program not being displayed in the list. No big deal, but thought you might want to know.

    Sorry Ron but i have to say you are wrong.
    I have a PC right in front of me as I type that has seaport in the services tab. With the “hide all ms services” checked, it still shows seaport. No big deal, but thought you might want to know.

    I have disabled SeaPort everywhere I can find it and have deleted
    it from the registry. Now I am getting a pop up window that says
    Microsoft on the tool bar with nothing displayed in the window
    where the Search Enhancement Pack folder used to appear. Any
    suggestions on how to get rid of this annoying window that comes up
    whenever you log on? Thanks.
