Hi , I found that the elasticserach server is running around 99 %, I did check the task manager (windows machine), I found that there is a process called "MSTDC.exe" , note it is not "MDSTC.exe", I did search to find any relevance to elasticserach , found nothing. file location is "E:\elasticsearch-1.4.2\elasticsearch-1.4.2\mstg" can you please let me know if this is related to elasticserach or this is a virus attacking elasticsearch instance Thanks in advance ---

There is no such file in the 1.4.2 release that I can see. ---

Thanks mate, it seems like a virus that sucks the memory. ---
