If You want to remove just search the file and then go to administrative tools- servcies and look for Remote administation or something similer and disable the service. set the startup type to disabled and then delete the file.

Not Dangerous if you installed it as part of remote administrator

Radmin, a remote control program like pcAnywhere. It has been incorporated into some worm/viruses without author's permission or knowledge. Only concern would be if you see it on your system and you did not install it intentionally.

This file is part of Radmin, a remote desktop application, from famatech.com. It would allow someone with the password to your server to gain control of it (but would probably be safe if your passwords are safe).
