Microsoft says the indexing service improves the speed of your searches. Indexing enables you to search for information such as text in the document, or properties, such as creation date, of the document.
The entire contents of the drive are not indexed unless you elect to index files and subfolders when prompted.
However, this indexing service adds to overhead and overall computer speed. If you would like to disable this service, follow the steps below.

1. Left click on My Computer
2. Right click on your hard drive
3. Left click on Properties
4. Click on General tab if not already selected
5. Click on Allow Indexing Service to index this disk for fast file searching which should disable it.
6. You may need to repeat if you have additional hard drives
