Haven't seen this thing before, in 5+ years of running Windows 7 on Dell laptops. What is it?
I found a post allegedly from a Jungo employee, but still have no idea how that bloatware ended up on my system.

Jungo WinDriver is used to communicate with USB and PCI devices. Many companies use Jungo for their hardware so it's impossible to tell how it ended up on your system.
Consult their website for more information. http://www.jungo.com/st/products/windriver/

I can confirm Jungo is installed when Vernier Logger Pro® is installed. Completely harmless. I believe it is used for communicating with scientific usb data loggers. It's a generic, reliable library so Vernier does not have to start off from scratch.
The WinDriver™ device driver development tool supports any device, regardless of its silicon vendor, and enables you to focus on your driver’s added-value functionality, instead of on the operating system internals. WinDriver’s driver development solution covers USB, PCI and PCI Express

Sounds somewhat like libusb. – Daniel B – 2018-01-21T10:17:15.400

The "completely harmless" bit might be true if there were no exploits.

What do you do? The site says it is used to develop drivers for USB/PCI devices: http://www.jungo.com/st/products/windriver/

– Dan Dascalescu – 2015-08-02T06:33:59.477I see. I found the original forum post you linked a part of. They suggest you uninstall it and see if any USB/PCI device stops working. Perhaps it was bundled with other drivers or some software. – MC10 – 2015-08-02T11:45:54.597
