Application Layer Gateway service is a component of Windows OS. It is required if you use a 3rd party firewall or Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) to connect to the internet. Do not end this program in task manager - you will lose all internet connectivity until next restart or login.
The alg.exe file is located in the c:\windows\System32 folder. In other cases, alg.exe is a virus, spyware, trojan or worm.
So to make sure that your system is clean,scan with latest virus definitioned antivirus,spybot,search and destroy,CWShredder as well as with Adaware.
Run all of them in safe mode.

It's not needed for all 3rd party firewalls. I am using Sygate Pro with alg disabled with no problems on broadband.
