omega Corporation has developed the adservice.exe process, an executable process that helps in running the file stored in Iomega Active Disk Drive automatically, a part of an Active Disk application. This is not a part of Windows system file and it has no visible window, but rather, it is a component of Iomega Active Disk application which enables the user to run the application directly into the machine from portable media devices without installing them on the machine. If the user wanted to run the zip drive, adservice.exe process is needed to run the application. The Zip drive is a removable disk storage system with the capacity of 100MB up to 750MB. Moreover, in order to generate the process itself, adservice.exe gathers other executable files related with Iomega Active Disk Service such as appservices.exe, ad2kclient.exe, and adusermon.exe. It is a necessary device in connecting Iomega Disk drive to the computer system and it only uses 342KB of RAM.

Most non-system processes that are running can be stopped because they are not involved in running your operating system. adservice.exe. is used by Iomega Active Disk Application, If you shut down adservice.exe, it will likely start again at a later time either after you restart your computer or after an application start. To stop adservice.exe, permanently you need to uninstall the application that runs this process which in this case is Iomega Active Disk Application, from your system.

After uninstalling applications it is a good idea to scan you Windows registry for any left over traces of applications. Registry Reviver by ReviverSoft is a great tool for doing this.
