Hi Folks, just checking this was a genuine Kaspersky update. I returned from lunch to find my firewall informing me that AVP.EXE had changed and do I want to "accept replacement of this application?"

This has never happened before without a reboot being required.
"Update: completed 21/07/2009 11:07:17, updates size: 3 MB (events: 121)"
Does this appear genuine? Anything else you need to know to verify?

Kind Regards
McB.
