Answer:
iTunesHelper is a background application that loads during startup in OS X. It simply checks to see if an iPod, iPhone, or iPad has been connected. If a device is detected, it will automatically launch iTunes.
You can disable iTunesHelper from launching during startup by unchecking its box in Login Items in the Users & Groups panel of System Preferences.
