AVG is a funny beast

I know AVG has a reputation of finding a virus in a vacuum, but I was copying a stack of files from one hard drive to another & it threw up a Virus threat. What was it? VMCD.exe - the Vista decoder changer! Being cautious is good, but really, this is beyond a joke.

Re: AVG is a funny beast

Yeah, the link scanner continually crashed Firefox on my system, so I flicked it.

Re: AVG is a funny beast

I nearly fell off my chair when I read that story. Very funny stuff.

I'm running AVG Free 8, hasn't found a virus yet, not sure if that is a good or bad thing.

Me too - Just installed Avast free edition - not sure how to use it as I've been with AVG for bloody ages and was quite used to it!

There's no need to get rid of AVG - just install it without the stupid LinkScanner crap, see this page for details.

Re: AVG is a funny beast

Switched from AVG to Avast when I changed to Vista. I was sick of being dumped to the desktop mid game while playing TF2 because AVG decided to run an update/scan on its own. I'm a much happier man these days
