| 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. |

| Actually, the most amusing part of this is that I don't own any program (or shared progam-base) by Corel... And STILL have this program. Perhaps you people should think, read and research before speaking... I think a 'STFU' is in order, ja? | |||

| Installed with Corel, Fucks Legit Users, Eats Memory. Had to kill with cmd and remove .dlls seperately after uninstalling the trial. Essentially a rootkit. | |||

| If the potential buyer knew that a rootkit, a call home feature and spider ran constantly (which eat ram and bloated the system) no one would buy the product. I know I would not, I purchased this product after comparing what it could do compared to others on the market and no where did anyone tell me I was paying for the right to intall spyware and would be forced to allow the program to phone home all the time and subject my computer to hackers with a #$!##$ rootkit. NO PROGRAM is worth the violation of my privacy! | |||

| Read a lot of opinions saying "eat ram" "bloated the system" and so on... I'm not even gonna get into the "spyware/rootkit" argument, but I wanna lay this out there. If a service that "eats" 0.5MB of your ram is causing you trouble, or bloating your system, maybe you should upgrade your system before trying to run any software of the Corel Suite. And to answer some guy's question "if it's not spyware, why is not deleted when you uninstall Corel?" FIRST "why is not deleted" is grammatically incorrect. SECOND because it also controls the trial validation period. if it didn't stay there you could just uninstall the trial version and reinstall it an run it without activating for ever. I rest my case your honor. | |||

| If this process cripples your computer, you need to do two things and fast. 1. Buy a new comptuter, the one you are using from 1996 is slower then a refabed Commodore 64 used in retail. 2. Go see a Psychiatrist. You are paranoid. This isn't "spy ware". The government and Coral could give three shits about you. You had to "google" and look up what this was, so you are an idiot and worthless to them. They don't care about you. Get over yourself. Your phone turned off in your pocket is more of a spy than this program could ever hope to be. | |||
