yes it is in C:\Windows\system32.
Then it is completely fine. It has to be in System32 folder. Anyways, it is by Microsoft.

What kind of problem are you getting with it? Kindly provide the screenshot.

It might be in ur startup...check in msconfig and check whether it is listed in services.msc ...if its there try disabling it...
