I received this from Grisoft regarding my submission of AVG false positive for mute.exe:

Dear Sir/Madam,

If you need to restore deleted files from AVG Virus Vault you can do

Yep, I should have searched. I just looked at titles instead. At any rate, for what it's worth, I submitted the file to AVG as a false positive.

Well, I confirmed that disabling AVG solves all of the problems of mute.exe being unreadable, and therefore solves my nlite problem.

Would be nice if AVG folks would fix their virus definition.

[SOLVED] AVG antivirus says mute.exe is "startpage" trojan

AVG antivirus says \bin\DPsFnshr.7z\mute.exe is "startpage" trojan.

I can't open any copies of this file; discovered problem when nlite wouldn't make ISO image after running driverpacks to add mass store driver pack to XP SP2 source files because \$OE?$/$1\mute.exe can't be opened.

I assume AVG is preventing mute.exe from being opened because it thinks it is contaminated.

I also assume mute.exe isn't really the startpage trojan, and that I'll have to disable AVG when I run nlite as the final step to creating an ISO image after running driverpacks.

Could someone confirm help confirm these assumptions?

Thanks, Basil Irwin.
