PDStyleAgent is a Cyberlink's aplication. This is not virus but better uninstall it. it is a Cyberlink helper program and can load your computer. Uninstall Cyberlink in the task panel and it should uninstall itself

PDStyleAgent is a process for Cyberlink's PowerDirector product. i do not know if it is needed for powerdirector or not but i do know from experience a few viruses can use it as a mask so open it's file location using task manager

This app assists in the smooth creation of a media disc (DVD/CD) when using the CyberLink Media Suite. I disabled it to save CPU usage and have had no instability issues on my Windows 10 PC. For folks who have security concerns I suggest disabling PDStyleAgent.exe when not using CyberLink Media Suite to burn a new CD or DVD, re-enabling it just prior to creating new media.
