None of this is part of Windows.

dvpapi.exe is a process associated with the Authentium Antivirus
application. I assume that dvpapi.exe is the dvpapi service. It would
follow that AV_DVP might be AntiVirus_ something related to dvpapi.exe.

DVPAPI.EXE belongs to Command AntiVirus for Windows NT
www.commandsoftware.com redirects to www.authentium.com/index.htm

dvpapi.exe seems to be part of both Authentium Antivirus and Command
AntiVirus.

Authentium bought Command Software Systems, so that makes sense.

{E39DB87F-D2CB-42FF-AAA4-72E708258DC6} is related to Command AntiVirus.

Unplug your modem, uninstall, reboot and then reinstall Authentium Antivirus
or Command AntiVirus, whichever one it is.
