This file is a government spy program, gateway and emachines have it named PrismXL, It works in conjunction with another gov spybot named ciadv yep homeland security. It goes by other names depending on brand. ;-)

Keith Levey (see above) is exactly right. I emailed Prism, and a tech support rep gave me the information that Keith includes above. I followed his directions for removing the Prism process (not just disabling it) and the removal worked just fine. I think that any program related to remote access is or will become a security threat. I get irked anyway having useless stuff cluttering the place. Thanks, Keith.

Identification program that uses very little system resources. Not Malicious.
   

Not needed, should be deleted. Can probably be used to hack your PC.

This was on my new gateway and no adverse affects felt from quarantining it. "Gateway uses the PrismXL service at the factory to install applications. It can be disabled." -kEN h

It seems to be part of Prism Deployment Software suite, but I do not have that software installed on my PC so why is this service installed?
