Remove CentraStage

CentraStage Community Agent (cagservice.exe), belongs to Panda Cloud Systems Management and part of Panda’s Security/Protection Suite.

CentraStage is a software program developed by CentraStage Limited. The most common release is 4.4.1807.1807, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The primary executable is named CagService.exe. The setup package generally installs about 42 files and is usually about 18.21 MB (19,095,323 bytes). The installed file Update.dll is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered. Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10. While about 73% of users of CentraStage come from the United States, it is also popular in United Kingdom and Netherlands.
