Did you just upgrade or install version 7.0.1451?
I upgraded and can’t find the *.exe now but it was logged in my firewall?
Curious as to what it was?
I believe that it just launches the Offer screen prior to the avast program update proceeding and once the update is complete it is gone. It certainly isn’t on my XP Pro system and considering it is in a Temp location it would be cleared out.
Ok ,I did see that window,so that explains it…thanks
You’re welcome.
That however, is a best guess as to what it does given its file name and the ‘new’ interface to update that is displayed.
