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.

Win32agent.pz
… how do I get rid of it?
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:
Delete Temporary Internet files.
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.
