It appears to be an Intel networking file. I checked Task Manager and in my case it does not really impact perfomance.

I believe it's just part of the GUI for configuring the adapter. I think if you disable it you can just use the Windows config system instead.

I found all information on this page accurate with the addition that it can be removed with the Intel installer from Add/Remove Programs. I use windows to manage my wireless connections, so I just removed everything but the wireless driver.

bugs up my wireless connection and takes about 47% of cpu time

From Intel: ZCfgSvc is one of several background services that make up integral components of the Intel® PROSet wireless management software. The service aids connection reliability in difficult RF environments by monitoring the wireless connection link status - and if the link status is down (connection lost) it invokes the wireless adapter device driver to do a scan, looking for a profile match - and attempts to reconnect. By disabling this service, certain background features of the wireless management software will become inoperable, but may not be apparent to the end user.

it slows my laptop down, and evrything works fine without it
   

After checking on this page, I followed Tommaso Mottironi's remedy of repairing the Intel Wireless Proset and it solved my problem. Not only is my computer back to normal speed, but the program no longer prevents my computer from shutting down without being forced to quit.
