Should update 918547 be on Startup list in msconfig?

Now that I've installed update 918547, I see that it is a startup item (in
msconfig).

I'm running Windows 98 Second Edition.

Is it necessary for 918547 to be a startup item, or can I safely disable it
(as a startup item)?

It needs to run as a startup item - it has to catch the malware code before
it can get out of the sand-box, and can't do that if it's not running!
