It belongs to Sygate firewall. It's a packet duplicator so that Sygate can inspect packets in a side-by-side mode.

This is a device driver included with the Sygate Personal Firewall (all versions) which enables the firewall to inspect traffic on network interfaces. It is not malicious.

Spygate has not and does not use spyware in our products and there is no two-way communication between these drivers and Sygate Technologies. The new drivers are used specifically to address and support both new and future networking/wireless technologies. Thus, it is recommended that these drivers be trusted and allowed access.
