Appears to propogate via network. When trying to remove using McAfee, it cannot find virus.
Charles

This appears if you use SMS. This is also legit, you would have had to install it with permission, not maliciously.

It is the Remote Control component from SMS
Samu

This .exe is used by SMS (any version) to enable the client computers for remote connection via the SMS admin console. This .exe is part of the installation package of the SMS client and gets enabled by a policy (if needed) sent from the SMS server. Clients can be remote controlled as with the Remote Desktop connection in Windows XP.
Baludinger

It's a part of MS O.S

Remote Control for Intuit TrackIt! Sometimes can kill CPU to 99%, reboot usually fixes, sometimes 2 reboots necessary.

SMS - Remote Control

Used by Microsoft Systems Management Console - necessary component if your PC is managed (such as in a workplace).

Seems to be in the c:\windows\tiremote directory. Seems as if this version of trackit remote is not compatable with Vista

Anything in the System32\CCM is related to Microsoft SMS which is an enterprise tool. If you are on a enterprise workstation then it is essential.
