Just uninstall any programs that you never intended to install in the first place.

Its a copy protection device used by some applications. You should know when it got installed if you are using original software (hah).

probably from adware included in some software you've downloaded.
you know when you install something, you click next2 without even realizing it they included a little check mark agreeing something that you are not aware of.
the fact that you didn't know what the software do, suggest that it is unnecessary.
just remove it.

If not sure can temporary disable without uninstall first in msconfig for Win 7 or Startup under Task Manager for Win 8. Then restart PC to take effect, and use PC as normal. If no service/software affected, then can safely remove.

Uninstall it if you don't use it often, else it will just take more space in your HDD and mem if it's running
