This is in fact spyware however it's usually running because it's required by the corporation one's working within. The execution of this program usually does no damage however it's been known to seize 100% of the computer's CPU from time to time. It can be deleted however that will often violate the rules of the corporation one's working for.

I would not consider it to be Spyware. When it's used in a corporate environment it's used to ensure compliance, not to spy, and certainly if the user believes that their work computer is their property, or that they have a right to privacy on it, they need to look at the bigger picture. I've never seen it use anywhere near 100% CPU utilization, and it's footprint in general is very small. If your work PC has this process installed, it's 100% required. The system admins will know if you remove it and that is likely grounds for some form of discussion with one's manager.
