Comments about this process:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------By Paul Hines 2013-10-31 11:51:31 I am the author of WinGuard Pro. The wgengine.exe file is needed to run at startup if the user has selected to enable the Task Lock (Task Lock tab) or options on Advanced tab are selected. Otherwise you do not need this file to run at startup.
wgengine.exe searches open program windows (title bar) for names of programs the user has added to the black list. If it finds one, it will display a password box.
