"SupportSoft Container" is also an identifier used by C:\Program Files\Comcast\Desktop Doctor\agent\bin\bcont_nm.exe. This file is used by Comcast's ISP application Desktop Doctor to communicate your system details with Comcast technical support. The software is supposed to solve the most common techincal problems by prompting the user to download patches or drivers. However the user should always be very careful about communicating such detailed system information with an outside party. Personally, I'm uncomfortable with this, and have uninstalled this tool.
