| aceangel A1 | i own a gateway myself and ive called the service line (twice) in the whole year an a haf and over the line the girl said that the program is ther fault for puting it on their but they require that to help over the internet by acessing ur computer by that software so they can checkout ur files desktop all of it to help with any problems and one of my friends said it might be possible for a hacker to acess it also. but by itself its harmless. so if u own a gateway (they rock, check the site!!) leave it be. (alone) See also: Link |

| Lune Keltkar | Keith Levey (see above) is exactly right. I emailed Prism, and a tech support rep gave me the information that Keith includes above. I followed his directions for removing the Prism process (not just disabling it) and the removal worked just fine. I think that any program related to remote access is or will become a security threat. I get irked anyway having useless stuff cluttering the place. Thanks, Keith. |
