Dennis,

Same here. Let me check if I've got that latest build, also...

hmm. I am still running 10.5.1. I could swear it wasn't very long ago that I 
download and installed it, brand new. Well, I don't know enough about bugs 
like this to understand how it came to be attached to that file, nor whether 
the program will work okay for me now that the file has been deleted (since 
AVG didn't offer to heal it).
