P.S. I did a computer search for the program and checked my C drive and the program is not on my computer any longer.

if you manually go to c:\program files\ or wherever you installed it, do you see flashfxp dir there?

No, but I've reinstalled the program and it seems to be working fine now, but it was just a mystery that I want to prevent from happening again!

FlashFXP will never just automatically uninstall itself.

Perhaps another application removed FlashFXP?

Did you restore Windows to a previous state? as this can remove applications that were updated or install since then.

I didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Although AVG was experiencing some unexplained problems so maybe it is correlated.
