PowerReg Scheduler V3.exe - What is this!!

[Halder]

Just noticed that in my start ups there is a program called "PowerReg Scheduler V3.exe". I disabled it from starting up (I think it enables itself after start up though).

Simply, What is it? Where did it come from? What does it do? and How do get I rid of it?

I have searched the web for it and found nothing concrete. Also went to Symantec and they did not seem to have any info. on it either.

Thanks in advance.
