essspk.exe

Call waiting task which gets installed by the drivers for V92 modems based
on ESS Technologies chipsets. If you enable the call waiting facility, and
your telephone line has the capability, and someone calls you while you are
browsing the Internet, a popup comes up on the Taskbar, ESSSPK, informing
you of the call and which number is calling you. You can decide to ignore
the call or to accept it : if you accept it, your Internet connection is
disconnected and your modem and/or phone rings.
Recommendation :
Some versions of ESSSPK cause Blue Screen Fatal Exceptions. If this happens
to you, see if upgrading to the latest drivers for your modem solves the
problem. If not, then disable call waiting. You can also disable this task
with The Ultimate Troubleshooter.
