The RegGet! plugin for MSIE, RegGet is a download accelerator. So: not dangerous ;)

Seems to monitor surfing to add any DL's to ReGet. Seems harmless but could be used as exploit.

Monitoring and/or 'catching' of entered URLs is an optional component of Reget downloader. You can disable this option through Reget preferences menus. If this "spy" disabled (as mine is), it should not need to be in the process list at all.
