what is sgbhp.exe ??

sgbhp.exe (in Windows Tasks Manager > Processes tab)
HijackThis was unable to detect it. I have no idea what it actally does except it may be part of SpywareGuard. is it not quite strange that it should be constantly running at 1,476 k(Mem Usage)....?
Hoping someone can give me some insight into it.

Hey there, and welcome to Wilders!

Indeed, this is part of SpywareGuard. Mines running at over 3,300k

Anyway, this is how SpywareGuard is able to offer resident protection. That means sitting in the background the way it does with heuristics and signatures to watch for any of the garbage it's made to combat trying to install on your pc.

 

im glad u cleared that up for me. someone elsewhere told me it was spywareguards help file which i wasnt too convinced with.

anyidea what spghp stands for? SpywareGuard-#blank-Protection ??

 

Maybe heuristics but I'd hafta let Javacool answer that with any certainty!

 

heuristics could be what the 'h' stands for but i didnt know what that ment either so i looked it up.

*SpywareGuardBlasterHeuristicProtection [sgbhp.exe] seems logical enough!!.*

Actually it stands for SpywareGuard Browser Hijack Protection, but close enough.

And yep - it is indeed an important part of the SpywareGuard protection.
