My wife has a program, System Guard (with a black Scottie dog icon), on her Samsung laptop, Windows XP, that she doesn't recall downloading. It doesn't seem to be doing anything, but it doesn't show up in any programs list, and there doesn't seem to be any way to delete or uninstall it.
Is this malware?
