| It is used by windows XP firewall... To prove it, go into your network properties and turn off your firewall. It will disapear from your task list. So if you want your firewall to work you had better leave it! (Dont forget to turn your firewall back on!)
| Shane |
| It's Microsoft specific, required for XP SP2. NOT DANGEROUS. Not SpyWare/Trojan as some have said.
| |
| you can disable it, but you will lose MS firewall (not big deal), Internet connection sharin. if u dont need it, disable it and save resources
| marcofulvio |
| This item shows up in your process list in Windows XP if you turn on the personal firewall built into XP. You can look for firewall in windows help to learn how to turn it on and off.

| Till now I used to believe that it's creating trouble with the internet connection or something. So i always turn it off from the task manager. But now i learn that it;s a windows internal process. not sure really. could it be possible that alg.exe gets infexted with viruses easily. Or is it possible that alg.exe lets access to my PC or else lets some malicious program communicate with its server when i am connected to the internet.
| ddas |
| alg.exe is located in "C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\" on Windows 2000 and "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\" on Windows XP. If the file alg.exe is in other place, it could be a spyware, trojan, worm or virus!

| You can disable it if you have 3rd party Firewall.
| james |
| The service is NOT dangerous; if you use other firewall than MS and you don't share printers, files or computer resources in a network you can disable the alg.exe service; however, if you do share your PC resources, leave this service alone cause you'll need it.e

| when i setup my windows xp professional if any problem comes to me then i press ctrl+ alt+ del just iget taskmanger how can i found it which is the important file of operating system and then i press endtask
| mdeshakhanonthenet@yahoo.co.in |
| It appeared after WinXP SP2 was installed and their Firewall enabled. It stayed around after I stopped the firewall, and so I hit "End Process" in the task manager. No problems.
| Andrew |
| Killing ALG.exe on WinXP SP2 doesn't stop internet working at all on my box. Agree is used by win f'wall.
| Adrian |
| nothing
| lex looser |
| apparently alg.exe craps up several useful little tools like internet explorer. i'm having to kill it regularly to keep IE from crashing on me.
| Gralgrathor |
| Came up immediately after installing XP SP2 - Seems to be for the XP firewall as others have reported
| lasher62 |
| Disable the xp firewall (if you don't need it) and it disappears. *shrug*
| Kachiko |

| Pops up even if you disable XP Firewall !!! Rename it and it'll never come back (like msmsgr.exe)

| what i know is i have it too..so no harm gus..don't worry
| Aiman_AZmi |
| I know that Shane is WRONG...I disabled the firewall, restarted...it's still there
| joe blow |
 | appeared after run xp sp2 so I assume firewall process is the story behind it!
| mtis2000 |
| is more dangerous, it a trojan
| Netanyahu |
| It is simply explain in Services. Go to Control Panel, double click Administrative Tools, double click Services. it's next to Alerter.

| Whenever windows XP starts up this alg.exe LOCAL_HOST, I can no longer access the internet and need to reboot. Very irritating.
| CS |
| located in c:\windows\system32; c:\windows\prefetch; c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386; c:\windows\softwaredistribution\download\75e4029c35a8b37105984119f6cd14 all files sized 44kB.. internet works totally fine when alg.exe running.. lacks the guts to delete/end task
| Canute |
| I know after installing servicepack Xp om my 600mhz ( with 500mb ram ) my computer got slower. i dont need it when i have tcp and udp control in my router..

| Definatly used as a server by psrticulsr trojans and worms to relay back to other computers. \trust me, I just spent 3 hours cleaning it all up. It is a legt file but can be manipulated (e.g. svchost.exe)
| Chris |
| Disabling the XP firewall doesn't always remove it. It certainly causes problems with explorer and my PC "freezes" for no reason on occasion when it is active.
| Bredwell |
| ALG is a service which can be disabled in the Services MMC. It WILL NOT disrupt your internet connection. I am a Networking professional, Certified!
| Doc |
| When I start up my computer, this alg.exe starts. When it's running, I can't connect to the internet. When I kill the process, internet works fine.

| Wenn sich die Datei nicht im System32 Ordner befindet, dann ist es ein Virus oder ein Trojaner, sonst ist es harmlos
| raptor99 |
| It appears as part of the Firewall in SP2. It's a service and can be disabled once you disable the Windows Firewall.
| SD |
| It is part os XPsp2. To make it go away turn off "Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)"
| BOFH |
| its an official MS file. you can look it up on their site, they have a process info page.
| freaky |
| This is not a virus, It is a file with SP2 for the new firewall, and security centre.

| Neutral, Part of windows firewall, doesn't consume that much memory.

| DUH!!! Trun off your firewall and see what happens. This is an ICS related program and is Neccasary if you want to use windows firewall.

| This file is also under SP1 But it's unstable on SP1(a) XP comps. Use alg on SP2 only.
| Sn0WDr4gon |
| Application Layer Gateway service is a component of Windows OS
| Someone |
| the original purpose is 1 of 2 things.... windows run firewall, or ICS (internet connection sharing).. so you can disable the whole service package under controlpanel/admistrative tools/services"windowsfirewall/ICS" if you have your own firewall and an external router. if you are using windows firewall or are using the machin as an internet gateway for other machines, then leave it on. it is possible it could become corrupted, never seen it in the wild though
| Delta-9 |
| Ben Dover is wrong. On his link it is said that some internet worm DELETES alg.exe. This surely does not mean that alg is a worm. Of course it is possible that a parasite can have any name, including alg.exe, but Ben's link shows no evidence of that.
| marginal |
| If you have a firewall you can turn ALG off in the "services.msc" in the run command. Though only turn off stuff that you know you don't need. Turn the wrong stuff off and you'll have to reinstall OS from scratch.
| leviathan |
| disabled by zone alarm,noticed nothing wrong
| fonito |
| Ich finde die alg.exe mittlerweile auch ein wenig suspekt... da er Port 21 benutzt und sich grundsätzlich mit anderen Usern verbindet (whois abfrage), denke ich die alg.exe wird wohl dazu benutzt werden um von einem remote rechner Zugriff auf den eigenen Rechner zu erhalten.
