This is a valid program that is required to run at startup.
This program is required to run on startup in order to benefit from its functionality or so that the program will work. The following information is a brief description of what is known about this file. If you require further assistance for this file, feel free to ask about in the forums.
Transfers files in the background using idle network bandwidth. If the service is stopped, features such as Windows Update, and MSN Explorer will be unable to automatically download programs and other information. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it may fail to transfer files if they do not have a fail safe mechanism to transfer files directly through IE in case BITS has been disabled.
File Location:
%System%
Startup Type:
This startup entry is installed as a Windows NT, 2000, 2003, XP, or Vista service.
%System% is a variable that refers to the Windows System folder. By default this is C:\Windows\System for Windows 95/98/ME, C:\Winnt\System32 for Windows NT/2000, or C:\Windows\System32 for Windows XP and Vista.
It is assumed that users are familiar with the operating system they
are using and comfortable with making the suggested changes. BleepingComputer.com will not
be held responsible if changes you make cause a system failure.
This is NOT a list of tasks/processes taken from Task Manager or the Close Program window (CTRL+ALT+DEL) but a list of startup applications, although you will find some of them
listed via this method. Pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL identifies programs that
are currently running - not necessarily at startup.
Therefore, before ending a task/process via CTRL+ALT+DEL just because
it has an "X" recommendation, please check whether it's in MSCONFIG or
the registry first. An example would be "svchost.exe" - which doesn't
appear in either under normal conditions but does via CTRL+ALT+DEL. If
in doubt, don't do anything.
