External information from Paul Collins:
There are different files with the same name:

• "Realsched" is not required to run at start up. Application Scheduler installed along with RealOne Player. Runs independently of RealOne Player, to remind AutoUpdate and Message Center to perform their tasks at pre-scheduled intervals. If it can't be disabled try deleting or renaming realsched.exe and then delete the entry in the registry
• "TkBell.Exe" is not required to run at start up. Application Scheduler installed along with RealOne Player. Once installed, it runs independently of RealOne Player. Not required - see here for more information, including how to disable it
• "WinHelp" definitely not required. Added by a variant of the LOVGATE WORM! Note - this is not the legitimate RealOne Player (realsched.exe) application of the same name

Important: Some malware camouflage themselves as realsched.exe, particularly if they are located in c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder.

realsched.exe is a CPU hog. Just watch what happens to you cpu usage when you "end task" in the processes tab of windows task manager. Follow the instructions to turn of auto updates and the message center as proposed above. If this doesn't work - uninstall the program from "Start Programs Real Realplayer Uninstall Realplayer. Too bad Real doesn't offer a resolve for this issue

It is an automatic update utility for Real Player. You can remove first by disabling the auto-update feature in your Tools- Preferences- Automatic Services- AutoUpdate (In RealPlayer). Then search through your registry for 2 locations of "realsched" (Type "regedit" after clicking on run in your Start Menu): The first will be a "(Default)" key, modify the key and erase the path; the second will be in the 'HKLM- Software- Microsoft- Windows- Current Version- SharedDlls' folder. Modify this key to "0". And lastly, open you "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\" delete "realsced.exe"

Any background program that can transfer useage info to somewhere else is potentially threatening. Who knows what could be done with this info?? Do you ever play a rip through RealPlayer? Do you want someone else to know. There are other media player programs available. Information gathering ... No thanks. I'm voting with my feet. Alan
   

I have to kill the realsched.exe process before Creative MediaSource 5 Origanizer will open properly. So bin realsched.

Slows down internet browsing and tracks your online activity. It is also an auto update utility for Real Player.

Eats up CPU cycles. RM should be sued for using CPU power and energy on millions of computers for this tool which is useless for the majority of users. Most of them run it constantly without knowing about it. There are better approaches for updating a piece of software.

RealPlayer message center. Pop-ups from the taskbar and shows random ads, sometimes causing the processor to run out of resources, but it's not really a spy- or malware.
  Pytak  

It's a default, but not needed. RealPlayer Support site tells you how to turn this, and tkbell.exe off while leaving everything else just fine. (Search for "realsched.exe" from the support page.)

It apparently deals with updating RealOne Player, but I'm not for sure on its authenticity.
