Mourning the loss of our friend, WhitPhil.

avgrsstarter trying to add to registry
Can this be spyware or a virus?
Searches have not found anything useful on it. The path is avgrsstx.dll file path is c:\windows\system32. Tea Timer shows it as:
Winlogin Notifiers
Key added
Entry: avgrsstarter

I've done some searches but nothing useful. It started showing up suddenly 2 days ago. I always deny.

Thanks,
Marianne

Is it Spybot that is reporting an Avg registry change?
