cmgrdian.exe is a part of McAfee Internet Security Suite. It installs an icon for easy access to this products configuration menus and that's all it is, a systray icon for easy access. This is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling this is down to user preference. I recommend you simply put an icon on your desktop or quicklaunch bar. This way, the process won't even have to launch at startup.
