It was installed by Kodak easy share. I consider it non-essential because you get better performance using a simple SD Card to USB Drive converter. It's just one of those useless programs that pretend to be convenient but eat up system resources continuously. The "Easy Share" software itself just adds a layer of complexity to extracting files from your camera preventing the user from seeing the file list directly. I uninstalled this software and see an overall improvement both in my computer and in the extraction of images.
