On HP computers, Recguard prevents the deletion or corruption of the WinXP Recovery Partition. Without it enabled, it is possible to knock that completely out and force the customer to send the PC back to HP for a re-image, possibly at the customer's expense

Useless if, like me, you formatted your drive and no longer need the recovery partition - Get rid of it!

Hewlett Packard application that prevents user from deleting the backup partition.

Absolutely essential IF you have any potential need to restore the original files to the computer from the drive D partition.

From HP - protects against corrupting recovery partition

Messa
Not needed if the hidden HDD space has been recovered for normal use

Needed to protect the HP Recovery Partition. Do NOT disable it.

Ce processus empêche de modifier la partition de secours des ordinateurs Hewlett Packard ou Compaq. Généralement utilisé en cas de problème majeur, la partition de secours permet de remettre votre ordinateur dans l’état qu’il était à l’achat (souvent à l’aide d’une disquette ou d’un CD dit de « restauration »). Il est vivement conseillé de conserver ce processus.

sorry i don't know about gateway but recguard protecting from corrupting recovery partition is very important it's definitely of importance and looks needed

what is this

Herman
I deem it to be left alone.

Only thing about this file is it allows the partition to be "accessed" during restore. Use it if you have an HP system and need the restore partition information, otherwise remove it. Check for any dependancies first.

Didnt work anyway. The recovery partition was loaded with spyware; along with the data drive.

On HP computers, is a process that comes preinstalled on many brand-name computers. Let customer to send the PC back to HP for a re-image. It's not virus. Recguard.exe is a process from HP that prevents a user from deleting or corrupting the WinXP Recovery Partition on Hewlett Packard computers.
