It’s part of the help system for Quicken and Turbotax amongst others:

Is iSEEK Answerworks needed on my computer? How do I uninstall Answerworks?
iSEEK Answerworks™ is shipped with several software applications and is needed in order to provide the natural language help functionality within the products it ships with. Answerworks can be uninstalled by unistalling the product that it is shipped with. However if Answerworks™ is unistalled it can lead to an application’s help search functionality to stop working. Answerworks™ is not a virus or spyware. It makes no connections to the network and collects no information. Answerworks is simply designed to make the self service experience more intuitive, intelligent, and efficient.
