[COMP] Computer Processor Serial Number Icon

Hi...I have a question about an icon on my taskbar that came with my new pc!  
It's called "Processor serial number".  It has settings and I look up what it 
was and basically it's to do with privacy issues on my pc, I think!
This is what it says about it in the help file! ......

"Processor serial number status: Choose whether to enable or disable the 
processor serial number. If the processor serial number is disabled, 
applications will be blocked from reading the processor serial number."

This is a new one on me, but I seem to remember reading something about it.  
Do I disable it or enable it, and when should I do this.  Right now I have it 
disabled!  
Should I remove it from my start up menu?  I just don't want to do anything 
that may...disrupt the way my pc runs.
TIA                                                Jackie
