Andrew It is part of Windows XP ability to detect third party Antivirus, such as ones from your cable/phone company's internet service. If your third party virus protection is active, basically dvpapi.exe should too. You can still just call your phone/cable company if you still notice anything suspicious about it!

Leaf Dvpapi.exe is also installed when you run an online virus scan from the iolo system mechanic web site ... its kind of strange though that when you run the web site scan it auto configs itself as a local service in your services.msc to always run with your computer ... its possible its a gift but only if it doesnt interfere with your currently installed antivirus(not good having 2 antivirus running because of a high conflict possiblity and wasted system resources).There doesnt seem 2 be enough info about dvpapi 2 find out what it really does or if it conflicts ..look at my link it is unsettling  See also: Link
