GpProxy is used to catch the information your browser sends to a server from a CGI form.
you're being snooped.

spyware?

sounds as if your being fucked mate, sorry?

well, it's spyware, but it's *real* spyware. as in, it's completely illegal to install something like this on a computer that's not your own. it can catch personal info, passwords, credit card info - anything you enter into a web form and send to an HTTP server.
are you SURE it's GpProxy?

Yeah GPProxyProcess.exe
It comes on when i use roxio movie maker.

So can i get rid of it?

The laptop isn't connected to the net when this is happening.

if it only comes on when roxio is running, then it's one of two things:
1) it's not the GpProxy i know, and it's fairly innocent. probably roxio spyware collecting usage habits.
2) your copy of roxio is trojaned.
either way, roxio is shit. do yourself a favour and get Nero :)

it's roxio movie maker a program for making movie and it came with my computer and the fire wire card. but i installed it on the laptop as well. and the gpproxy is only coming on the laptop

oh, haha sorry, i thought you were talking about roxio burner software.
i honestly don't know, then. if it's somehow become compramised and trojaned, then this makes sense. otherwise, i'm at a loss. try ending the task and let us know what happens.

Yeah I ended the task and it ends and the hd stops spinning. So i don't know what it is or why it comes on. Is it safe to delete it if i can find it on the hd?

I'm confused?
