    Default Win32agent.pz

    What is it and how do I get rid of it?
    When I run Spybot It take along time to get past this file, I fell asleep and the next morning the scan was done but
    win32agent wasn't on the list. I scanned again today and when it hit that program it was there for 20 mins before i stopped scanning.

    If Win32.Agent.pz was not list as a problem when Spybot's "Check for problems" completes, than there is nothing to "… get rid of …".

    During the running of a Spybot scan ("Check for problems") the status bar in the lower left hand corner of the screen shows the following:
    • "Running bot-check(xxxxx/yyyyy:zzzzzz)" where:
      • xxxxx = Current check count.
      • yyyyy = Total check count.
      • zzzzz = Malware check being performed.


    • The zzzzz value is not what is on your system, it is the malware check being performed by Spybot.

    If the scan is running slowly, there are a couple of things you can try that may help speed the scan up:
    1. Delete Temporary Internet files.
    2. Delete Windows temporary files.

    To eliminate Win32agent.pz from the scan entirely (not recommended), go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > Ignore products. Scroll down until you see the entry for Win32.Agent.pj and check it.
