Hi all,
On my system I am using the payware version of AVG Ultimate for antivirus and internet protection. For the past year or so every time I do a whole number update of OR_NewYear_MG AVG goes bonkers. I get a window in the lower right of the screen saying that "this program may contain something bad". The program is prevented from running and a 15 second scan of the file is done. After the scan the program is allowed to run. At this point I usually get a Fetal error message from OR and I have to run everything again from the beginning. This happens with both the Menu and Runactivity program when run for the first time. This has been going on for so long that I've just gotten used to it.
Today I accidentally clicked on update notice on the upper right hand of the menu. Immediately AVG quarantined the file and I got a popup saying "This type of file usually contains malware and that I will be notified within 60 minutes weather or not I can run the file." Of course I was notified that the file was OK.
There are no problems with the unstable version.
This is more of an annoyance than a problem. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there anything I can do about it, other than complain to AVG?
Fred
