PXAgent.exe is part of Prevx. It is not dangerous but does use most of the computers resources. I shut down Prevx and it closes.

I've removed the program and the agent still appears ... suspect it to be either malware or bad programming

It continously collects data from the system and sends it (by installing the software you have to agree to that ) to them. It is for detecting computer crime as they describe in the agreement. Whatever that includes it is for sure that it's not a common anti-spyware/malware tool. Besides it makes no sense they argue it collects the latest threads detected from its users... I dont want to look all the time for malicious activity when I trustfully use a tool for it... beside that I really don't rely on the users searching and finding threads.... how about you?

I installed it on my laptop to remove a spyware that was slowing it down. Now after I've used it the PXAgent.exe is slowing my laptop down even more! And the worst thing is there's no way to remove it. In some ways, this is worst than the spyware!

Yes, it belongs to Prevx, but the problem is that it gives an error message any time I want to close my computer. Moreover, its CPU usage is high and it regularly makes the computer crash. I'm trying to delete it, but it seems impossible, because it is always in use.

Computer going much better since I removed it from c:\windows\system32. Used PC-cillin and/or Prevx. Couldn't remove it manually.

All I know is that on a 2.4Gb AMD, 512 MB RAM machine, it takes up over 65% or more of my CPU resources for the first few minutes of bootup, and then settles down, but still uses a LOT of memory while in 'residence' thereafter.
