sgtray.exe won't end at logoff

Quite often when I logoff or shutdown in XP Pro SP2 I get a dialog that says
sgtray.exe is still running. I click OK to end it and logoff/shutdown
proceeds no problem. How can I get rid of this somewhat annoying behavior?

Use the System Configuration Utility to prevent it from starting with
Windows - it is perfectly safe to do so. The sgtray.exe program is a
utility from Veritas which installs itself on the system tray bar, and
serves to remind you to backup your files. This is a non-essential
process. To see further information about sgtray.exe, look at this
Google search:

Go to Start>Run and type (without quotes) "msconfig" [enter]. This
brings up the System Configuration Utility. Look on the Startup tab and
find the probable culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, Apply and
OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but the next time you do
you'll get a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Just tick the box
that says in effect, "don't bother me about this again".
