Thnx for d info, but i really would lyk to know if it is necessary to delete the file "alg.exe" in your windows folder just to counter attack the ARP poisoning? hope you can rply asap, tnx
Hi,
"alg.exe" - Application Layer Gateway Service is a very important program in Windows XP/ Vista. This file normally located under ‘:\Windows\System32’.
If you found this file in another location eg : "%CurrentFolder%\alg.exe", you are infected with Trojan Arposon.
Don’t try to remove this file manually. Leave that job to your Antivirus.
Install a good Anti virus,
1.Disable System Restore (Windows Me/XP).
2. Update the virus definitions.
3.Backup your system registry.
4.Restart your system in safe mode.
5. Run a full system scan.
