Symantec Technical Support Web Controls - Do I need this?

Hi,

 

today I've cleaned my App/Remove Programs List from not more needed tools. As I scrolled down, I've seen the program 'SymantecTechnical Support Web Controls'. I don't know, if this is maybe an important component from my installed Norton Internet Security 2009, so I haven't touched it. 

 

I wanted to ask here, if someone could say me, if I can uninstall it properly, without to have any worries.

 

  It would be nice, if I get an answer...I've read so many times, that unneeded programs have to be uninstalled, to minimize the risk of security holes through old applications.

 

Thanks!
