Hi,

Its isn't Spyware. But it should be uninstalled automatically when you removes Corel software, and doesn't do. It's more like a rootkit or something. Is easy to remove, just 2 files and some registry lines. But if you removes it whit corel software running you lose your trial period, or maybe, your license.

Hi,

It is located at C:\WINDOWS\system32\PSIService.exe

Part of the Protexis Co. copy protection and license management software. This will typically be installed by other software that uses this to protect itself from being illegally copied. This is found in Paint "Shop Pro Photo XI"... This startup entry is installed as a Windows NT, 2000, 2003, or XP service. You can disable this by going to START > CONTROL PANEL > ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS > SERVICES

Find ProtexisLicensing in the list, double click it, then change the "Startup type:" to DISABLED
