Unfortunately the pop-up message did not fully qualify name and path, just
avp.exe and since my HJT log came out 'clean' I assume that no illegitimate
items are present.
Based on this, is it safe to add avp.exe to my Win XP2 Pro Firewall
exceptions list?
BTW, I recently downloaded Multi-AV which added WGET.EXE to the firewall
exceptions list; From this list there is no way to tell if this is an
legitimate item or not. But of course I know WGET.EXE is okay, the
downloading instruction of Multi-AV does explain this.
