Question: ntvdm.exe - what is ntvdm.exe process removal ?

I have not noticed 'ntvdm.exe' showing in my Task Manager, under the Tab "process" header before on my computer,I noticed the 'ntvdm' just now and I am a bit concerned and so I want to know what this 'ntvdm' does and how to remove the 'ntvdm.exe' from my computer ? Also I want to know whether it is a system process or user process and Is it because of some error in any program exe, virus or worm? Please tell me how this file ntvdm.exe showed up and do I need to remove this file ? And is Removal process easy?

The ntvdm.exe process is used when you run DOS or 16-Bit software on your windows pc. It will emulate the old DOS/16-bit os to allow older programs to run. It provides an environment for a 16-bit process to execute on a 32-bit platform. If you are running DOS based (or 16-bit) programs on your computer, you should leave this process running. ntvdm.exe is flagged as a system process and does not appear to be a security risk. This is part of Microsoft Windows (NT).
