JT Remote install tool - probably part of Gateway update framework - no thanks!
Shawn The file is from New Boundary Technologies. It seems it's for Deployment purpose
Will D. Few ppl will have the legitamate Prism Deploy software on their machine. Most of the time it is the virus which makes many programs unstable or uninstallable and hijacks the machine for mallicious purposes.
Richard Frey Came installed on my Gateway computer
Jim C. Gateway IT Tech. This is used by gateway when doing installs on new computers. after you have the new computer it is safe to disable the service in the services.msc  See also: Link
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

PC Freak Factory installed software loader which can also be used to update a PC also it may be used to monitor PC's and manipulate installed software IT CAN BE USED REMOTELY  See also: Link
Daniel This was on my new gateway and no adverse affects felt from quarantining it. "Gateway uses the PrismXL service at the factory to install applications. It can be disabled." -kEN h
Cigma Its on my Computer, completely Harmless.
Styx Not needed, should be deleted. Can probably be used to hack your PC.
Identification program that uses very little system resources. Not Malicious.
Nelogawa i disabled the file and so far nothing different happened, so i guess its safe to do so if ur worried that u might get hacked
Doug Demers gate program..not needed for daily use..ok to delete
Patrice Same thing will does
not gateway...we make up our own image and this manage
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.
Maxwell Notsosmart This file is a government spy program, gateway and emachines have it named PrismXL, It works in conjunction with another gov spybot named ciadv yep homeland security. It goes by other names depending on brand. ;-)  See also: Link
