i saw some program on my pc running called agent.exe i googled it and im still not quite sure what it is
if youi dont know what it is, and you dont need it: start -> run -> msconfig -> startup tab, uncheck agent
Your PC a Dell ? agent.exe is an admin program installed on Dell computers. It's also the running file for a cyberlink TV tuner that's used to schedule TV recording via a PC. If in doubt, download Hitman --- http://www.techspot.com/downloads/1278-hitman----.html and run it overnight to kill any possible nasties anyhow.
Actually Ithink it is a security program. And wow your dad would be shocked once he sees all the naughty stuff on your PC.
Its a system thing for Acronis True Image Agent which is a partionin program it aint harmful at all. source:http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/agent/
