Since then my computer has a cpu usage of 100%... I think this is a virus oder something like that... avp.exe is NOT a part of any virus software. because of the trouble I had in getting rid of it I give it a bit of concern kyle Q its typically a virus or malware if you dont own the kasperky software and it is a virus hidden under this name. onebutters I never had Kaspersky installed on my computer yet I have this process running.

Remove it from the registry. And keep it from starting up in msconfig. Also remove syswin.exe, syswin6000.exe, iun6002.exe, and mgrs.exe. Taishi I got this file attacking my regestry files when I downloaded something on the net, I believe it may of been some kind of trojen disguised as avp.exe. I managed to eraise it from my windows directly along with msgr that was doing the same thing. I don't think its essential but if you don't have Kasperky like I don,t I believe it could be dangerous and would advise to remove it immedietly Grace It was resident in the C:\Windows\system32 directory and seemed to be a dodgy file as windows would not delete it and it did not say where it was from. I did not have Kaspersy loaded but when I did install Kaspersky, yes there was a file with the same name in the program folder, too. It is a different and new file. The previous one I am sure is malicious, but if it lives in Kaspersky it is part of the program.... I still have virus/worm trouble atm and Kaspasky is finding a few resident, but one of them just killed Kaspersky dead. Bugger, norton keeps bringing it up as a virus notification and does not stop notification - constant popup windows.
