| Kevin Hu | I use a Thosiba NoteBook starting with it |
| Wormywormman | i got this running in my computer when i installed sonicstage simple burner program.this program was given to me in the form of a cd when i bought my discman. the program supposed to compress ur music file into atrac 3 plus format. |

| Suave | Installed by TMPGEnc DVD Author |
| Alen | Got it when installed the update for sony sonic stage software (transfer music to mini-disc) |
 felipe_51 | I use a Toshiba Satellite A20-S259, wich also have installed "Drag'n Drop CD+DVD" |
 zimba | My Sony VAIO has Drag'n Drop CD+DVD, and ezShield is one of the programs started up when Windows starts. Don't know yet what exactly it does, but it runs unless I stop it. It's got the word 'protector', so maybe it's for protecting something while burning discs...like overburning protection maybe. |
| Guffe | Came with Sony SonicStage Simple Burner.. NOT spyware!! See also: Link |
| rluner | Installed by TMPGEnc DVD Author I think. |
| | Installed with Sony Sonicstage software for me. |
| Boven | Came with Sonicstage, destabilized my system |
| JASONBME | Came with drag and drop on my toshiba laptop |
 Houzéf@ | Came with SonicStage. But it uses resources and i hate programs like this one that always start with Windows. Because my aim is not to always use it. |
| Tasslehoff_can*nospam*@*removethisspamblockeralso*yahoo.com | I'm very annoyed that this remains after uninstalling SonicStage. Any advice on how to rid myself of this annoying process? |
 Shione | useless. drag n drop program works fine without it and since u probably dont burn eveytime u use the computer keep it switched off to save ram. and only switch it on when you are about to use it. |
| JHamilton | Came from installing Soundstage - Sony's music D/L software. |
| Michael | my copy is infected with a browser hijack virus |
| dlj | SonicStage Sony Spyware: reports running apps 24hrs |
| Bulldog | I have recently installed SonicStage, Kenny's comment above looks as if he was sure that sonic stage was where he got it from |
| Mike | nothing you need to worry about. if youre trying to play games, turn it off! it will shut down the game. just turn it off at start up. |
| Clayton J. Knight | This file is part of the SonicStage program definitely, and quite possibly others. It is not harmful, only required to write music to your MD or other CD/DVD devices as well. DO NOT BE AFRAID! If spyware is a concern, install ZoneAlarm and Ad-Aware. Spyware be gone! |
| Jade | A.lso got it after purchasing a portable Sony CD Player (it was included). I run about 7 adware/spyware/virus/trojan checkers & firewall and the system comes up clean. |
| Froggy | When I stop this exe it seems also to prevent PnP from functioning so that both my sound card and nic are not detected. It's small (248k Mem Usage) but annoying. |
| sstatham63 | I also have Sony SonicStage installed, so that sure seems to be a common thread... |
| J L | Installs when you install Sonic Stage See also: Link |
| Sonic Stage | Installed with Sony Sonic Stage and other software that uses EZ Systems Software. It allows burning a CDRW on a system that does not have burning software. Useful in that case but anoying otherwise. |
| Issis | I have a sony vgc-ra710g. it has both drag'ndrop cd+dvd and sonic stage. if you don't want it running with Windows starting but want to keep the software in your computer, you know, in case someday you might need it, just go to start-run-msconfig-startup, uncheck ezsp_px and restart your computer, when the information box jumps out, check the box and hit ok. |
| skippy567 | This came installed on my Toshiba Satellite A25. However, this laptop does not support DVD writing, but a different version of the Satellite laptop does. I've removed it from msconfig but it insinuates itself on my system due to a registry key in the startup section of the registry. That's why it's difficult to shut this process off permanently or to get rid of it. |
| 7upcan | I also have this file and have installed SonicStage, however i rearely use the programme, and dissable it most of the time to free up RAM. |
| that's it | Have had SonicStage installed. ezSP_Px.exe seems to remain resident even after uninstalling SonicStage. |
| John | Only appeared following Sonicstage installation. |
| Dante Prieto | comes from SONY SonicStage Software |
| Toon0305 | This one is definitely unnecessary if you use a superior burner such as Nero |
| DaveyMcman | Came with Sony Disc MAN Portable CD Player. |
| rsb | Installed by default with Sony VAIO software |
| Andrew | came with the Hi-MD Sony Walkman Player- on the CD (the SonicStage thing) |
 erin256 | Sony Spyware: reports running apps 24hrs my copy was also infected. |
| g-man 314 | got it with Sonic Stage probably---an unneeded process, dump it |
| jersey | i have a hewlett packard and i think it came with it. I also have it on my toshiba laptop. So far, nothing bad about it. However, not sure whether i need it. thus i havent deleted it. Dont want to use unecessary processes really. |
| lovemachine | drag n drop on sharp notebook |
| niobe | Installed on Toshiba Satellite notebook |
| Goon | Its Sony spyware! |
| Lucifer | Like others, i had sometime ago installed sony sonic stage software (transfer music to mini-disc) . I uninstalled the application long ago, but the process still self loads on system start-up. Always uses no CPU. I believe it is impotent. |
| eachperson | Installed by default with TOSHIBA TECRA A1 |
| James | Sonicstage |
| Mee | waste of ram application that runs even if you never use the bundled burning application on Toshiba Satellite notebooks. Nuke to save ram. |
| rottnhombre | I have no new software installed, but suddenly ad-aware alerted me about this program wanting to change a registry key. |
| juliancito | its in my sony computer!! it is for cd dran and drop |
| DES | This file possibly coming from SonicStage, slow down to block my computer when running DirectCD formatting tool |
| Kelly | came installed on my Toshiba Satellite A45-S120 laptop |
| Sephi | Comes with SonicStage 3.1 |
| Chris | ezSP_Px.exe must have installed when I installed TMPGEnc DVD Author. I built this computer and do not have any of the other mentioned software installed. Will disable since I use Nero to burn my DVDs after using TMPGEnc DVD Author to make the master. |

| Mediarocker - IT Administrator | This file is brought in by Sony SonicStage and is required to use its burning functionality. without it SonicStage may become unstable and cease to work. do not delete this program. If you are experiencing problems with your system associated with this product, call the software vendor. chances are your computer may not have the needed system recources required to run this application. |
| BigBen | Sony VAIO desktop with Sonic Stage, not sure how malicious it might be, but MS AntiSpyware flagged it up, so we'll see how well the PC works without it.... |
| Juachi | It comes with SonicStage, no doubt |
| SLUK | It comes by default in all Sony VAIO laptops |
| Aras | ezsp_px.exe is flagged as a system process and does not appear to be a security risk. However, removing EZ Shield Protector may adversly impact your system. See also: Link |
| Chingas Lee | It seems to be another of those anoying things Sony puts on their PC's and don't tell you anything about it. |
| Sadia | I have Toshiba Satllite M35 and it came with Drag&Drop CD+DVD. ezsp_px is in it. So nothing to worry. |
| Mark | I have both InCD (Drag n' drop for burner) and TMPGEnc DVD Author, so not sure which may have installed ezSP_Px.exe. I have also scanned regularly with Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware (Spybot), If you are not using any DVD/CD burners on your system, then remove it. But, if you only suspect it may have virus tendencies, then (for Windows XP users) get "End it All" program and selectively disable this executable. It will return the next time you re-boot. Just a minor inconvenience of re-booting when you decide to burn any DVD's/CD's, but will safeguard your system in case of a potential threat. See also: Link |
| James Henry | If you disable it in msconfig, it will restart its self. This computer I'm working on doesn't have a burner. |
| | came with Toshiba Satellite A45-S150 instillation cd, I removed from startup programs, I don't like the programs start without my permission |
| Limo | Maybe installed with Tmpgenc DVD author... not dangerous |
