Hmmm nothing on google.
If it has a virus then let AVG try to repair or if that fails quarantine it.
Personally, I wouldn't hesitate to delete it as since it implies it is to do
with WAV files and is obviously not a core windows system32 file --> delete.
There is no mciwave.ex? on the Windows 2000 Pro installation CD so if this
is a real program (or once was) then if you rename, quarantine, or delete it
something is bound to complain later giving you the opportunity to reinstall
it.
