i have a vpn software, i stop the vpn and the process sr_watchdog.exe don't stop ¿what is this process? a virus? spyware?
oneli

It installs with checkpoint, but even when checkpoint isn't running, it causes slows my computer and internet connection. I run a 2ghz pentium with 100mb dsl connection. Even when I kill the process, it says it's still running and won't let me delete the program.

Even after I delete checkpoint, it still runs in the background. I kill the process, and try to delete it, and windows says the it's still running. Eats my bandwidth and processing power when it's running. Not a virus, just a nuisance.

SR_Watchdog is used by Checkpoint Software for VPN services. It stays running in the background and when it detects a network connection, it will attempt to establish a connection to your VPN for you.
