Dell laptop - ran slow for several days until I killed this process

My Security Task Manager rates it as dangerous, maybe it is not, but it uses a Hook function to monitors keyboard input. By default, every file contains internal descriptive fields. Descriptions were not found in the file. I question why Dell would not maintain standards, perhaps the negative reaction from programs having keylogging capabilities. Particularly when attempts to access the Internet are also present. I am disgusted with the encrohment on our privacy for any reason, by any company. I want to know what every file on my computer is and what it does. I say kill it!

Utility from Dell; very occasionally hogs all spare processor power for no apparent reason, causing everything to run at glacial speed. Process can be killed by Task Manager with no ill effects.
