This component, which is itself part of a larger component called the Alert Management System (AMS), is specifically charged with allowing you to remotely interact with your PC.

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!
