well, that has me stumped then... i thought maybe it was a system

contact grisoft support... it may be a bug of some kind...

That's right, if it was in system restore it would explain it. I have seen
this 2 times this week. Both have been Trojans. I will contact AVG and see
what they say.

Thanks for your info
