What is "Application Layer Gateway Service" used for exactly? If I block it with my firewall my internet connection still works fine.
I look it up on Google and get this. "Description: 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"
I don't use the XP firewall and I don't use Internet Connection sharing so it's ok to block it, right?
