Imgicon.exe is a process which is installed alongside Iomega Zip Drives. The
process will display icons which correspond to the individual zip drive's
make and model allowing easy identification. This is a non-essential
process. Disabling or enabling it is down to user preference.
Disable Imgicon.exe.
SMG4NXP.EXE is probably malware.
NET.EVENT
The .event extension looks suspicious.

UPDATE your antivirus software and run a full system scan.
UPDATE whatever anti-spyware applications that you have and run a full
system scan with each one.
You might want to start in Safe Mode to run your antivirus and anti-spyware
software.
Running a full system antivirus scan or anti-spyware scan in Safe Mode can
be a good idea. Some viruses and other malware like to conceal themselves
in areas Windows protects while using them. Safe mode will prevent those
applications access and therefore unprotect the viruses or other malware
allowing for easier removal.
