System32

[Tony Pickering]

Sometimes when I boot my Pc I get the following McAfee
Firewall Communication Alert: A Program has tried to
access the Internet.
Name: Application Layer Gateway Service v5.1.2
Path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\alg.exe
So far I have denied access because I don't know what it
is.
Should I allow it to connect. It may be a system update
