Do you wonder what is the process named "seaport.exe"listed in the task manager? Please rest assured that it isn't some virus or malware, which is to say "seaport.exe" does no harm to your system. And let Sell4crazy tell you what is "seaport.exe" on earth.
If you use or have any of Windows Live features, like Messenger(MSN), Mail, Live Writer, etc, or if you've downloaded anything related to Windows Live recently, it is possible for you to come across a process listed in the task manager known as "seaport.exe".
In fact, "Seaport.exe" is part of Microsoft Search Enhancement pack, which enables the detection, download and installation of up-to-date configuration files for Microsoft Search Enhancement applications. It comes bundled with Windows Live Suite, no matter what option was chosen by the user during installation.
In short, "Seaport.exe" is just an automatic update for Microsoft Search Enhancement applications. It runs automatically and continuously on startup, regardless if any search has been performed or any browser window has been opened or not. The running of "Seaport.exe" surely adds additional time to the boot-up process and extra resource usage starts at once.
The space of RAM that is used by "seaport.exe" is about 4.5 MB. For most users, this may be a little too much, especially when the process is not so necessary. Besides, users may experience "seaport.exe" application error and browsers may not be able to function properly, and crash all the time.
The conclusion offered by Sell4crazy is that, "seaport.exe" is not something harmful, while it is not so useful as well. Since it causes extra resource consumption, we advise you to disable the system service named as "SeaPort", and then you will never see the boring process "seaport.exe" appear in your task manager.
