Since moving to a different floor at work, my PC has been going berserk. At around 10:30AM everyday the disk would thrash and run out of control. At first I thought it was the corporate virus scanner throwing a hissy-fit but downloading filemon.exe from sysinternal shows that my pc has been overtaken by this rather annoying executable - CCMEXEC.EXE.
A quick google around later, I found out that this file is used by Microsofts SMS service. Apparently used by the SMS host to deploy software and patches to desktop pc's across the corporate network. Basically another big brother tool from M$.
Killing this executable cured my PC from its spastic habits but I'll need to investigate more as to why it only runs on my PC and only at 10:30AM each day!! It is basically sucking the life force out of my HD causing it to wear and will probably make it sucidal in the end.
