It uses all the cpu on my laptop. Not dangerous, or essential. When i disable it out of task manager my laptop runs faster. I am usng a Pentium M, 1.4 GHZ. Hwever if you have a faster machine with a dual core, you may not have to remove the program since your computer is light years ahead of the current one that I am using.
