alg.exe - how to remove alg.exe process ?

[alg error]

Question: alg.exe – how to remove alg.exe process ?

There was some problem of speed in My Computer, when I was monitoring the Windows Task Manager’s Process List and I found alg.exe. Does any one knows about alg ? Is it any system process or user process ? I have been using Norton Antivirus and it has not detected it as virus or worm, so is it related to any spy ware? Please tell me how this file alg.exe showed up and how can I remove this alg.exe process and will it generate any windows error ? Is there any alg.exe removal tool or utility available ?

alg.exe is a part of the Microsoft Windows operating system. It is a core process for Microsoft Windows Internet Connection sharing and Internet connection firewall. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated

Hi,

alg.exe mean Application Layer Gateway service. alg.exe is a component of Windows OS. It is required if you use ICS to connect to the Internet. So don’t end this exe from task manager, because you will lose all internet connectivity if you stopped or remove alg.exe from your task manager or computer.

Good Luck
