Free version. It's guard.exe

Oh Oh.

I did a little searching. The guard.exe file is used by AVG to make sure
some rogue hasn't put a block on the AVG update server in the Windows Hosts
file.

Why my free AVG doesn't have it, I have no idea. For a long time I've had
the habit of periodically checking the Hosts file for unwanted entries.

Hope this helps.
