Microsoft Works Update Detection (WkDetect.exe)

This loads at startup.  I thought it installed as part of Microsoft Works that came with my Dell 4300; I use Windows ME.
 
Is it legitimate software, or is it spyware or similar.  When I unchecked it to prevent loading at startup, my resources went from 68% to 80%.
 
Thanks,
l5205

    l5205,

    From my elderly site on startup items regarding this program (which is legitimate, but not required at startup):

    "A program that automatically looks for updates for Microsoft Works. The user can easily do this manually at convenient intervals."
