Seems to have come with my Vaio laptop

Also running on my Vaio - suspect that it is to do with the added functionality that can be configured into the dragpad. As most people plug a USB mouse in for ease I'd say you can disable this from start-up. I hate all these "harmless" background processes - I'd rather use the processor and RAM for applications!

Also came with my Sony Vaio laptop. The process was running when I took my PC right out of the box, even before going on the internet. My best guess is that it goes with the software that came preinstalled on the laptop, perhaps could be a mouse application as some have suggested.
