alg.EXE

[John Doue]

Hi,

Could anyone tell me what the function is of the file ALG.exe in
system32 directory which suddenly tried to access the Internet while I
was connected and that I had never heard of until today?

Thanks

(Sorry about the crossposting, but I posted initially by mistake on 2K.)
