It may have been installed by my company on my company laptop. It is trying to reach 66.206.25.237...

BESClient.exe is using 99% of my cpu causing my computer to work at dial up speed. It' irritating if you ask me.

It uses to much cpu and it nothing more than spyware for my company. I blocked it immediately after seeing that it is monitoring and trying to report on my software.

It's on my system and sometimes brings it to it's knees. Our system admin told me I could remove it so I did!

This process is eating since today and for at least one uninterrupted hour 48% of my CPU power which implies heat and noise. I stopped it manually.

If is part of the Fiberlink package, which sucks royally. Drags down the performance of the computer and dont really offer that much functionality with value.

Just another corporate spyware scanner. Uninstall if you can get away with it.
IT Employee

It is installed on my work PC and it significantly reduces my productivity. But, at least the IT guys can spy on my machine...so that's good.

My company might be using it for system updates, but in addition it also kills any torrent programs every 10 minutes..

It doesn't use much CPU time, but does sometimes cripple my system with its disk accesses. My company installs it to manage my laptop.
Jimbert

It is used by my company to insure that the latest patches for applications and security are loaded. If you are using a company owned computer, deal with it. They they own the computer not you. :) As far as it potentially spying on you, if you are worried about them spying on you doing something, you shouldn't be doing it at work anyway...
