It contains a digital signature from Verisign, a subsidiary of Symantec. Verisign thereby confirms this file's authenticity and integrity. It was developed by a so-called third party provider - and not by Microsoft. It also can also affect other applications by changing their properties. Such manipulation can cause an application to do things other than what it is intended to do. The application does not appear as a visible window, but only in Task Manager. It is unusual for the service not to provide any indication of how and why it is required.
For this reason, 65% of all experts consider this file to be a possible threat. The probability that it can cause harm is high.
