Der Dienst ist dazu gedacht, Brenner über das Neztwerk freizugeben und zu benutzen (StarWind). Kann über Systemsteuerung\Verwaltung\Dienste deaktiviert werden.

Tritt bei mir seit der Installation von Alk120 auf. Den Process konnte ich immer problemlos killen, auch den Dienst deaktivieren, ohne weiter Folgen. Mein Netzwerkmonitor berichtete mir noch keine Verbindungstätigkeit, ausser bei Updateüberprüfung.
