cdasrv.exe?

Greetings.  I've had a heck of a time finding any information on a suspicious (albeit only because there's no information on it) executable I've seen running on both an XP32 machine and a Win7x64 machine I have.  It's very possible that it's a piece or portion of something installed via the MFP 2335dn driver/utility set, since the directory and contents on both machines have write timestamps closely associated with the installation of that software I applied to both machines last night,  but I just wanted to make sure.

CDASrv.exe and the "Common Desktop Service" directory in Program Files in both XP and Win7.  There is a startup reference to both I can see when I run msconfig.  The version of the executable is 1.53.0 iirc (I'm at work), but there is not other indicative author information associated with the dll or executable.

I've seen vague references to cdilla (yuck) in some remedial searches online, then then a one off page that's not a dell site, but has information about that version of this file proprtedly provided by dell along with an msiconfig call on how to remove it.

Is this something to be worried about?

Thanks.
