 whitehore | this thing has strange internet activity. mine hooks up about once every 10 sec. it seems to be looping around my router/firewall & only connecting every few min. It is part of `record now` but I don`t like it & it`s coming out! |
| Steve W | This file has 711 trojan (Seven Eleven), 711 trojan to IP 65.115.67.11; |
| Ragman | This is an updater for Sonic RecordNow. |
| | causes system to lock up.... |
 doonseburger | This updater for Sonic RecordNow would not stop dialing the internet even when I disabled it in the program, so I removed it from loading in msconfig. Later I tried to remove RecordNow from my computer which screwed things up entirely, so I did a Windows restore, but ever since have had little creeping problems. Stupid program! |
| | SAFE - check Norton - backup related application file that is SAFE not spywear. Users choice to keep - not needed if you have separate backup system. Veritas = software owner. |
| | I allowed VERITAS UPDATE MANAGER to connecto by mistake. So tried to shutdown my computer. the system could not shut it down. I ended it throufh manager. It seemed to work so I left. three hours later when I went to start my computer it was very hot so I notice it was still on. This happen twice. I computer is now acting strange. |
| Floki | It continuously does not react when I switch off the computer. Even after reinstalling the system :-( |
| Wayne | It seems to be causing problems w/ mem mgmt & network functions |
| yo | It comes when I start the windows |
| REDONDOS | Just a RecordNow Updater |
| | It doesn't cause me much trouble, but I prefer to delete it, because I don't want many backround processes running on my system. |
| Citoulien | it is not necessary |
 Grahmo | Part of Sonic RecordNow, seems to hang on shutdown. Am going to replace with better CD recording software! |
 | AControl |
 Gina S. | Causes my computer to freeze on shutdown. I have occaisional problems with some strange memory errors. |
| isse_b | It prevents Windows from shutting down. |
| | When I go to turn off my computer, sometimes I get the message "sgtray.exe is not responding". This doesn't happen all the time though. Anyone know what could be wrong? |
| frankieg | It seems to be a part of Sonic's RecordNow, so not spyware, but ANNOYING-ware. Every time I shutdown my PC I get a message telling that "Could'n shutdown cgtray.exe", and stays there foerever, unless you manually abort the process; then shutdown will continue normally. But if you don't abort it manually, shutdown will not happen and next morning you'll find your PC stil "shutting down", and hot, as a collegue said above. |
| Freddie T | My system keeps locking up, and sometimes needs a hard boot - if I stop sgtray.exe by task manager all is fine - this puppy is coming out now! |
| R.E.D. | Interferes with my sign in for McAfee. Causes McAfee to constantly ask for verification of membership. |
| Hangs up when shutting down computer...have to manually end it...come on Dell, give your head a shake...what the hell were you thinking bundling this malcontent software with your systems | Sonic Record now updater |
| BM | I've been facing several excel failures lately. Whenever I choose to end the program, I also get an error message related to sgtray.exe. I'm deleting it. |
| wbealsd | Appears to have also screwed up some IE functions until it was removed. ID'd as part of Sonic update, killing task free'd up PC after lockup |
| Korenchkin | It caused the HP scanner on one of our systems to freeze after one scanned page. After some long troube-shooting I found out that the sgtray.exe caused the problems somehow. Since I disabled it with msconfig and then renamed it to sgtray.old, the problems are gone. |
| Hans | I shall remove it See also: Link |
| jriceter | I kept getting memory reference errors. I unistalled Sonic RecordNow to remove this annoyance. |
| Doniek | Uninstall Sonic Update Management from Windows Add/Remove programs will remove sgtray.exe. The CD burner still works fine |
| Roni Halyo | this is very annoying process, it is not happen always . |
| Esteban- | A Sonic RecordNow File... Constantly asking for internet service... Annoying! |
| Carl | not much - so what is the solution, great to know I'm not the only one but I would have expected a solution |
| Bill C | Seems to be a Sonic software updater |
| Edgar | yea its not dangerous but yet it could be because it keeps running behind the user so i suggest you all uncheck it from msconfig.exe or it will cause annoying messages like "sgtray.exe is not responding" when you try to off the computer. So, i took it off and my computer shuts down normally (without an annoying message) I used record now and it works perfectly so it does not harm your p.c. if u uncheck it. |
| Hobo | installed on ibm thinkpad: part of software "ibm recordnow update manager" |
| Steve | It was causing my PC to lockup. It may have had a conflict with HP printer software. If I killed either task the problem went away. I need to print so it is gone! |
| Simon | Veritas Software Updater disable if u dont use veritas |
| Patrick Sweeney | If Sonic's servers cannot be reached it locks out port 80 - so the user gets no web |
| Ashwin | it does not allow me to switch off my OS, it hangs up, have to close it manually . UGH |
| Anonamous | Constantly connecting to internet at startup. Don't know what it is. |
| Jace | Netstat -b showed sgtray.exe connected to an IP address at port 80 from my computer. Pretty sure sign that this file was dangerous to the security of our network. You might want to check yours!!! |
| Mark | sonic update manager - needs all this i/o to check for updates to their software? every 10 seconds? i don't think so. |
| RayC | The recommendation from Doniek worked for me. sgtray.exe was keeping my PC from shutting down. The problem was resolved when I removed the Sonic Update Manager. This is not a dangerous situation, but it sure was annoying. The file is not essential. |
