Ok, if AVG is a moving target, good for it. I'm not saying that's not
(I've never owned or used AVG).
Based on the writeups for Storm, there seem to be lots of anti-malware
products that don't change their process names.
(tangent - some writeups say that Storm also turns off some P2P apps -
anyone know why it would do that?)
