I wastn't sure what it was either apart from it taking up 130MB ram and slowing my computer to an absolute crawl whenever it tried to do anything (despite having 2GB ram). Anyway, I worked it out - it's something installed by office 2007 beta. I disabled it from the control panel -> admin tools -> services.

Seems like you're not the only one having troubles :)
