npggNT.des is a part of the nProtect GameGuard Anti-cheat engine, designed to guard online games from hacking and cracking tools, mouse/keyboard macro's and client/server harming processes. File is harmless, however, it attaches itself to every running process, including hidden ones, on your system. This said, it has become apparent that nProtect is vulnerable to the "Sony Rootkit" but I currently have no way of confirming this.

Part of NProtect Game Guard used in online Games, Not dangerous by itself but annoying and can cause system lag and instability. Even tried to keep me from connecting to the internet not only with the game but with every process.

nProtect Gameguard & cannot kill this process

This file is weird. Ever since I downloaded Maple Story with this gamegaurd crap, my computer has been going insane. And I don't know how to stop this. It keeps trying to end my AV updater, my mouse goes crazy

Even injects dlls to system files, disconnects you from dial up if it detects something it doesnt like thats running.

very dangerous
