This process is part of the device driver package for certain brands of touchpads manufactured by Alps. Since touchpads are normally found on laptops, the process will generally be preinstalled along with the system hardware and software. Terminating this process may lead to errors when using your laptop touchpad for navigation. See also: Apntex.exe.
