What is Macrovision "Software Manager" ?

I get a DELL Vista desktop lately. The software manager pops up this
morning.

I cannot find this software in Program List and thus cannot remove it.

I would like to seek your advice
1) What is this software for and why it is installed ?
2) Should I remove it ?
3) It says that there is a "Update Manager Critical Update December 2008",
should I install it ?
4) Will it conflicts with Windows Automatic Update ?

Thanks

You should probably asked DELL those questions since it's their laptop.
