A driver for Microsoft's Intellimouse lineup, IntelliPoint includes a user interface that allows you to configure your mouse settings. IPoint.exe runs as a background process and services the mouse. If you disable the process, the mouse will function as a standard mouse and any settings you made through the IntelliPoint interface will not be in effect. Intellimouse is a line of mice that was introduced by Microsoft in 1997 and were the first mice on the market to have a scroll bar and web-browsing buttons.
If you want a detailed security rating about your ipoint.exe (and all other running background processes) read the following user opinions, and download the free trial version of Security Task Manager.
Note: Any malware can be named anything - so you should check where the files of the running processes are located on your disk. If a "non-Microsoft" .exe file is located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder, then there is a high risk for a virus, spyware, trojan or worm infection! Check it out!
