I noticed this in the Activity Monitor app, that the iTunes helper frequently shows "Not Responding"!

My Questions are as follows:

1) What is iTunes Helper exactly and what does it do?
2) Is it important/necessary to run iTunes?
3) Can I remove it from process without hampering iTunes?
If Yes, how? If No, how do I fix the freeze session?​
