I find it attached to CA Internet Security Suite through Road Runner. It does not uninstall through the Control Panel and blocks internet access. One should most definitely use the Microsoft Firewall and umxagent.exe is also a firewall. Two firewalls jeopardize security and are in conflict with one another. You cannot delete it out of the registry or rename it. Looking for a way to get it out.
