This should be got rid of as soon as possible according to this site here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/wdfmgr.exe-11233.html. It's added by the W32/Agobot-TB worm. When started, this infections connects to a remote IRC server where it waits for commands to execute.

Comes With WMP10, eliminates problems with compatibility with any other Players...

It can/will bog down your wireless access point by continually repeating information back to Microsoft. Shut it down in services.msc

After you install Microsoft Windows Media Player 10, a new process appears in Windows Task Manager. This process is named the Windows User Mode Driver Framework service

Its installed with WMP10 -- sometimes and its always with Winamp. Supposed to increase compatibility but has worked adversely for many increasing the CPU to 100%. Either case, unless your having problems with Winamp or WMP then kill it from Task Manager.
