The explanation of SeaPort found in the description field of the Services Administrator Tool is that SeaPort, “Enables the detection, download and installation of up-to-date configuration files for Microsoft Search Enhancement applications. Also provides server communication for the customer experience improvement program. If this service is disabled, search enhancement features such as search history may not work correctly.” This file is safe, was not marked as a threat or virus-containing application by any antivirus software.
