I run AVG antivirus (free version). This oulwsv.exe popped up a couple of days ago and AVG can't seem to remove it. Every time I open my computer now, the uninstall shows up but with a warning not to run it.I think the warning actually comes from Windows ( I have Vista). I was afraid to open the uninstall because I didn't know anything about this file or recognize where it came from.
I googled the file and found you! I still don't know what to do, but I'll study all the info on here and see what my next move will be.

Thank you for providing this information.
Sincerely,
Bonnie Cowden
