It was installed in my startup folder when I downloaded Chessmaster 9000, a Ubi-Soft product. Bit Defender on my system calls it malware. I cannot delete it; tried.

Neither important, nor dangerous. You can finally delete it in the registry: regedit HKEY_Current_User\Software\LeaderTech (folder with subfolders).

My brand new USB-memorykey started autoinstalling some drivers and this came with it.

this file is used by various vendors (sonic, palm, etc.) and is used to remind you to register, as when you choose "remind me in one day" on a registration dialog.

Leader Tech, was installed by "THE NEXT TETRIS" by atari/hasbro; insists you register and thereby hand over personal info.

Ubisoft registration

I removed it. There is enough junk on your machine that you don't need. It is a Ubisoft product.

Even after uninstalling Palm software this software kept asking me to register my Palm. They should have made an option to disable this. Any software that continues to run after you uninstall it is malicious

Installed with ViewSonic. Just delete it from Start Up folder.
Utopia

totally agree with leftysquid, jumped on as soon as i installed drivers for my lcd which wanted to register online but i chose to be reminded instead
titski

installed with my Viewsonic monitor drivers. i think it was going to keep popping up a reminder to register this product (that i had already registered). not harmful, but annoying
