You will think that it is not required but it can be a critical system process. If
you want to do, first search for that name in a search engine then decide.
MSConfig :
Start > Run > msconfig > "Startup" and "Services" tab
For the "Services" tab, first tick "Hide microsoft services..."

For any query, search > www.Google.com

Many apps will start a process (as an image in Task Manager) for items that
run in the background, like a firewall or anti-virus real-time protection
service. Look in the registry -
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run key. If any of the
unwanted processes you see in Task Manager appear in this Run key you can
delete the individual string values (type REG_SZ). HOWEVER, if you are
unfamiliar with editing the registry use caution - you can do irreparable
harm to your OS if you delete or modify critical system keys/subkeys/values.
So...having said that, before you edit the registry make sure you have a
"go-back" solution. If you're running XP, force a restore point before you
edit the registry. Alternatively, right-click on the Run key and select
Export. Save the exported key to a directory like "My Documents" for
instance. If your changes create problems, simply double-click on the
exported key and the settings will be imported back into the registry.
