I'm not completely convinced this is actually malware. Does anyone know what the false positive rate for Spybot S&D is?
Do you use prxchk for anything? If not, the simplest solution may be to just get rid of it. You might be able to do an uninstall through the control panel, but if not you can still do it manually.
EDIT - As so often happens, another option occured to me immediately after hitting reply. In fact, I'm feeling sort of stupid for not thinking of it earlier. Have you tried running ad-aware? If not, install the latest version and try that. If we are dealing with some sort of malware, Ad-aware may be able to pick it up and remove it.
If it doesn't (and if you haven't tried it already) I would highly recommend removing prxchk from the blacklist, as I'm reasonably sure at this point that it is in fact benign. If neither Norton or Ad-aware (both with the latest definitions, I'm assuming) pick it up, it's probably safe.
