    Hi jawjahpeach

    Yes igxpun.exe is a legitimate file associated with Intel GMA drivers, this is frequently being reported as being blocked by Controlled Folder Access, you can safely allow that executable through, no harm will come to your PC . . .

    Thank you.  Is there not some way for legitimate files to be recognized so we don't have to go through this?  Also, what is the best way to find out if a file is legitimate?  Every time I run up against this, I find info that says a file is legitimate and info that says it's malware.
