PSIService.exe

File Name: PSIService.exe
Usefulness Rating:
PSIService.exe is a process that belongs to Protexis Licensing service which provides copy protection and license management function. Protexis is a third-party technology partner that Corel has engaged to provide product licensing protection. Thus, this process is usually installed by other software that needs this to provide copy protection, trial downloads and even product registration for its users. This process is also used by the Protexis system for Corel products, controlling the time out period of the trial and other license management issues. The process won't connects to Internet unless it is activated, and it is usually located in the 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\' folder and has a size of 174656 bytes.
Recommendation:
PSIservice.exe is not a critical component. It is also recommended that it should not be removed as it may be used by both Corel and non-Corel softwares for license management. If it is removed/disabled, it may cause software to stop working.

"Do I spy you?" "No, however, the program that uses Protexis licensing can spy." "Does PSIService call home?" "No, it doesn't call home. However, the program that uses Protexis can call." ... More information

It is new COREL DRAW SPY SATELLITE PROGRAM. X4 does not run without this spy running on the background. I think world needs to set some laws against such insolent action by almost a monopolists such as Adobe (which includes spy programs Adobelm_Cleanup.0001 - 2 (!!!) of these are running on the background whe u start Adobe Acrobat or Photoshop, plus Adobelmsvc.exe) or Corel Corp. I think putting a spyware in Corel or Adobe programs is just too much. It wouldn't be so, if these dirty little pieces of spyware wouldn't take a load of cpu, but they do! Adobe' crap also creates smknd of temp files, and they are getting bigger as time passes. I think, ppl are really deserve to have a law that would prohibit spying on them by the - not govrnmt - a crap private software companies. Amen!

i think people should research what they are adding before they comment.. it is a service installed by a few different progs but i encountered with corel x2. it says it is required but depending on the program it isnt. block it to check whether you need it running or not.

Wow. Now I understand why so many sites don't allow public comment. About 80 to 90% of everything posted on just about every process is wrong.

If it is not spyware, why is not deleted when you uninstall Corel?

Corel Paintshop Pro Photo X2 will not run if you have Norton 360, V3.0 installed. The program freezes your computer and has to be killed using ctl/alt/delete.
