What happens to my PC if I were to uninstall Apple Software Update?

On my (Windows based) computer the only Apple software I have installed are iTunes 7.0 and Apple Software Update. I am a strong believer in installing the minimal amount of software possible, hence I have ignored all of the attempts to ask me to upgrade to iTunes 7.2.

I am considering uninstalling Apple Software Update and I have two questions.
1. If I were to uninstall Apple Software Update, will this “hurt” my iTunes?
2. With Apple Software Update installed, does this result in anything that’s always running in the background?

Thanks.

    apple software update runs as a service.
    if you remove it all will be fine, it just takes the guesswork out of updating any apple product.
    you can always manually check for updates.
    it will not effect itunes.
