Larger companies install this software on company machines so that they can manage them. Part of this means that admin people can connect remotely to your system and do most anything!

Since this appeared on my work PC, it seems to be running like a dog. The process seems to sit there with ~15% CPU usage in task manager. Also, when I hold a key down, the process's CPU usage seems to rise, wonder if it's keylogging?
