This is used in the Centra Symposium, it is also used for World of Warcraft. But, an exe can be named anything, if you have one of the two running It is no spyware risk.

It always tries to install itself when I open Webshots, one of my security programs says its spyware, I refuse install because if you don't want Webshots to automatically change your wallpaper, or use the calender it's not needed. It's lack doesn't affect the screensaver which is all I use. Any file I don't need that has even just the potential to cause problems...why should I have that. Webshots is very cool and I doubt they misuse it, but even if they do I don't care cause I don't have it.
