I use Cisco's VPN client, and it only shows up when I activate it, and then only for the period of time between initial login and when autheticated and connected. After that, it goes away. If it displays any other activity, or if you are not using Cisco VVPN CLient - get rid of it FAST.

Your Cisco VPN client uses this process so you can access your office computer remotely. Not a resource hog, just bothersome.

Installed with VPN client used to connect to a network remotely (usually for work). Worry only if you don't use/have installed VPN for remote access.
