It's taking up 8496k of my mem. according to Task Manager. Though memory isn't really an issue for me, it would seem high on my old computer. However, it's a perfectly safe file. Seems needed for audio too. :P

Displays in Task Manager in capitals, Creative X-Fi utility. It is possible to disable however doing so will disable automatic headphone detection.

It's installed with X-FI software. I've read that it autodetects headphones. If you really want it gone, boot into safe mode, go to windows/system32 and delete it. It can't load if it doesn't exist.
