Utility that enables management of the Xbox 360 wireless gaming pad on PCs

Sollte nur auf dem Rechner vorhanden sein, wenn ein Xbox360 Controller (for Windows) verwendet wird. Datei kann aus dem Autostart entfernt werden, da sie nicht notwenig ist.

This process is using ~50% of my Core 2 @ 2.66 GHz CPU just because it's running. Really annoying, and nothing really happens if i close it in Task Manager. By the way, it just uses about 1,5-2 MBs of RAM.

It has to be a virus because i can close it in taskmanager when it uses 99 % of my cpu and i can still use my controller fine. And since I got that file in my computer the x button on the controller doesent work anymore.
