My Question is solely about the "Overseer.exe"
Hello All.
I have just finished recreating my Recovery Partition due to issues with the MS KB5034441 download error.
I have noticed in C:\Windows\ Recovery, a folder called "Autoplay\CustomizationFiles" with a file called Overseer.exe with an AVG icon in it and another Overseer.exe file in the C:\Programs File\Common Files\AVG\Overseer\
1. Should the file within the "Autoplay\CustomizationFiles" be there or should it be in the New Recovery Partition?
If no!
2. The File within the C:\Programs File\Common Files\AVG\ is linked as a "Scheduled Task"
I have searched through the Community Forum and online without any success in answering this question.
Your Help would be much appreciated
