sgmain.exe is SpywareGuard which provides realtime protection from spyware. More information can be found here.
Quote: The last release was 8-31-2003 and the last spyware definition was
released on 1/22/04 but this remains one of the better tools out there that is
freely available to help prevent spyware from getting on your machine. Below is
a direct quote from the developer about this software;
SpywareGuard provides a real-time
protection solution against spyware that is a great addition to
SpywareBlaster's protection method.
An anti-virus program scans files before you open them and prevents execution if
a virus is detected - SpywareGuard does the same thing, but for spyware! And you
can easily have an anti-virus program running alongside SpywareGuard.
SpywareGuard now also features Download Protection and Browser Hijacking
Protection!
Features Listing:
Fast Real-Time Scanning engine - catch and
block spyware before it is executed (EXE and CAB files supported)
with signature-based scanning for known spyware and
heuristic/generic detection capabilities to catch new/mutated
spyware
Download Protection - prevent spyware from
being download in Internet Explorer
Browser Hijacking Protection - stop browser
hijacking activity in real-time
SG LiveUpdate - provides an easy updating
solution
Small size - with a small size and small
definition sizes, download and updates are quick
Report Capabilities - keep a detailed log of
all spyware detected
Spyware files are blocked before being opened or run - they are
not simply shut down after they are loaded in memory (and after they
have performed their tasks)
