in system32 folder its a malware, in "normal places" only a nero tool
   

U can safely remove it from startup (if Nero is working 4U) by using STARTUP.CPL by Mike Lin.

It can be stopped from runing automatically this way: Start/run: msconfig, automatic run tab, uncheck the box before NeroCheck, click OK (u can also restart later when asked)
