stimon.exe ?

i have this program running and im not sure what it is for.
i did a search on here but havnt found anything specific to stimon.exe
i did find this page-> http://www.2-spyware.com/file-stimon.exe.html which confuses me.
in the first paragraph, it seems to say its normal/safe..
stimon.exe description:
From Microsoft: "Still Image Monitor (Stimon.exe) is a tool that is installed by Windows Millennium Edition (Me) and Windows 98 when a Universal Serial Bus (USB) scanning device is successfully enumerated. Stimon.exe enables a USB still-image device (such as a scanner) to initiate data transfer to a program. This is called "push model" behavior. For example, if your scanning device has a Scan button, it may start a program and begin scanning when you press it."

yet in the next paragraph, says it is bad..
File stimon.exe removal: WARNING!!! File stimon.exe is related to spyware. This is serious violation of your privacy, your system is under security threat.
We advice you to scan your computer and eliminate possible threats.

so which is it? safe or bad?
is it something i can remove?
