I have 2 computers. On one in systray area I am getting Icon, that I cannot
delete or open. The icon is InstallShield Update Manager. What is this? Is it
beneficial to my computer. If beneficial how do I get to show and use on
second computer. If it is not beneficial, how do I get it to stop appearing.

It is trying to check for updates to software that is already installed on
your machine. If you don't want to check for updates constantly hide the
notifications area icon and block it in the firewall. However sometimes the
updates are important security updates that you might want to install. I
just allow it to check all the time on a Dell laptop which came with too
much preinstalled software.
