Was completely slowing my system. Never seen it until my computer came back from law enforcement as they have been traking an old friend who used my system.

My pc was acting strangely, had network issues then 10-15 viruses/trojans/etc. tried to install in one day. I don't remember having this program appear in tasks before that, so I took the precaution of removing it. Thanks for the advice and instructions!

Appears to be on Gateway and eMachine systems for something they do when they build it and isn't really needed afterwards, here is the link at gateway support with easy shut down instructions.
