PCTVoice.exe
(PCTEL)
Background task installed with the drivers for the PCTEL 2304WT V.92 MDC Modems. Seen mainly in laptops.
Recommendation :
We do not yet know what this task really does, but we do know that PCTVOICE.EXE and the related PCTSPK.EXE occasionally run away with CPU consumption, up to 95%-100%, causing the inevitable extreme PC slow-down or freeze. In all cases that we have seen, disabling this process with Startup Manager has not given the user any problem in his use of the modem.
