I know little about it but don't like it. ZoneAlarm prevents it from running. I've only seen the ZoneAlarm warning when I visit a Yahoo Blog site.

Confirmed. I just terminated the process (watched it via Process Explorer) and the paper clip dude, officially known as "the office assistant" popped up again as a daughter process under svchost.exe. Definitely harmless. Just doesn't terminate unless you close all Microsoft Office documents. Close office and it's offloaded.

It's associated with the little paperclip guy (or other cartoon character) who pops up giving you word processing/spread sheet, etc. "advice" using Microsoft Office products. The only bad thing is that it doesn't unload itself. Shows up as a daughter process of scvhost.exe.

Its the program that runs that stupid little animated paper clip guy, the office assistant, that comes down and stares at you while you are trying to type. Ah! Here he comes!
