Don't think it is dangerous, but I uninstalled the software that installed ISUSPM.exe and now I don't want something using 3-4Mb of my precious ram doing nothing.

Randomly appeared December 11th. Took up 100% CPU with 6 or 8 processes of it running. Installshield WAS running, so I doubt it's dangerous going by what these people have said.

My firewall showed ISUSPM.exe attempting to connect after I logged in to my financial institution. Could be coincidence, but that strikes me as suspicious.
  Boyd Ramsay  

Program loaded after installing reconfiguring my lap top to the factory setting.

It's annoying. It interacted with Photoshop CS3 and drove CPU usage to 100%, effectively disabling the computer. Had to use "End Process" from Task Manager to stop it. I finally disabled it in the Startup Menu

A number of "freeze" events since installed with a program update.
