s5Mark is a potentially unwanted program that is bundled with free software you download from the Internet. Once running, s5Mark will donwload and use custom built Chrome browser called cpx.exe that constantly connects to various sites on the Internet. When it connects to these sites, s5Mark will display these page, including advertisements and videos, in the background so you do not see it on your screen. This constant downloading of web pages does nothing but slow down your computer and your Internet connection while providing no benefit to the user of the computer.

This program's web site states that it is designed to optimize the download speed of media files:
Â*S5mark is a type of web proxy, allowing the user to connect to the Internet through another computer. This may be done because they want to mask their own IP address, or for security purposes because the computer with the Internet connection has better firewall protection (i.e., it doesn’t allow in programs which may damage the computer).
When testing this program we saw no benefits and the only activity we saw was its constant connection to sites to watch videos and display advertisements.
When s5Mark is installed you will notice the following symptoms:

• Your computer will run very slow.
• Your computer's CPU utilization will be close to 50%
• You will find tasks called cpx.exe running in Task Manager that use a large amount of CPU power. These processes will have a description called Google Embedded Application.
• Applications and Windows will freeze.
• Your Internet will become slower.

As you can see, s5Mark uses up your computer's resources without your permission or knowledge. I feel that you should remove this program so that your computer runs properly again. Furthermore, if this program is installed on your computer there is a very good chance that other unwanted programs are installed as well. Please use this guide to remove all remnants of the s5Mark PUP and any other related programs.
