GEARSecurity Service?

[RWB]

Name: "GEARSecurity"
Description: "CDRW Support"

WTF is this? I just got done reformatting, installed only a few items so far like Open Office, iTunes, Quicktime Pro 6.4, Mozilla 1.5, Java Web Start, and that is all I can think of atm.

I know CDRW Support is the description, but I have never seen this one before.

I have no idea what it is used for, but I'm 99% sure it's from iTunes.

The only 'security' I want or need is to keep the amount of individual programs interfering with hardware to a minimum, and I have a special dislike for software that installs without telling me, so I just shut it off in Services and MSConfig...

I have no idea if iTunes needs that going in order to burn or not... since I don't have a credit card I can't check. :D
