    That is all fine and dandy, but what about the important parts:

    What does it do? 

    Why is it there? 

    Do I need it?

    Why is it included in the MS Windows 8.1 install?

    Thank you very much for your answer. The reason I asked is because it look suspicious to me.

    I do have MAGIX installed on my PC. I will follow your instructions about the program. Thanks again!

    Kudos to you.
