I was doing a 'search' on my winxp pc, and accidentally found this file folder C:\Program Files\MAV and mavinst.exe. i am baffled as to what this file/program could be. Anyone here..any ideas? Thanks for all your help.

Usually this is located under %WINDIR%\System32 folder. If found elsewhere, then probably is a virus.
I'll suggest to run a full disc scan booting from a clean OS.
Hope this helps
Jump to PostRightClick mavinst.exe and check the properties for ID info.
Due to the location of the file/folder, this is likely a component of a rogue anti-spy app.
