Most likely an illegal rootkit installed for purpose of copy protection. It can cause problems with other tools, so it's recommended to remove it if possible.

Was installed with a game. Some kind of copy protection. Get rid of it. Any silently installed components can be considered spyware.

Was installed when I installed UT2003 so that I would have to play with the CD until the patch came out resolving the issue.

SECUROM is a very effective type of copy protection. It has been proven to cause serious performance problems on a lot of systems. Unfortunately, it is also necessary to run any game that uses it.
