MxBtDaemon in Library Startup area... from Maxtor One Touch 120 GB

I loaded the cd for the Maxtor One Touch and it presents me with the security questions about this file MxBtDaemon (fileDescription: Maxtor Button Watcher Daemon) and it gave me the choice of fix, ignore or disable. I chose disable and after researching this online I found tons of posts about it crashing a system. I then downloaded application zapper...and removed files to trash. Though when I tried to manually delete MxBtDaemon Files from Library Startup folder it asked for administrator password. I am afraid that my computer may crash or not startup. Can I delete this start up file?

Powerbook G4 12", Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Yes, daemons should only actually be functioning after a request is made to them. Also as this is not an Apple daemon, removing it should not prevent system start.
