I found the same file in one of friend's laptop 2 days ago. He said he probably got it from a usb pen drive. But he complained that his laptop was freezing while he tried to view DVD movies. I cleaned the WinFlashGuard.exe registry entries as well as deleted the file. The laptop was working fine since then and has not been freezing.

I don't know if that file is a protector as it says to be as Avast didn't detect it as a virus.

All I say is that if you have problems like program hangups kill that file.
