AVG 8.0

J

Jerry

AVG8.0 has treated the AsusUpdate (7.13.04 ) as a trojan (a back door
trojan). When I download the latest version or update it via the AsusUpdate
program, it is locked by AVG as an threat alert !!!

AVG detects infection on file that I suppose to be clean
In case AVG Free detects some file on your PC as infected, this file was
moved to AVG Virus Vault, and you are sure that this file is correct and
clean, it is possible that the detected file is a false alarm. If so, we
shall prepare the correction as soon as possible. Unfortunately, false
alarms do appear from time to time in every Anti-Virus software.
To solve the problem, please send us this file for analysis directly
from the AVG Free program this way:

Open AVG Free User Interface.
Choose the "Virus Vault" option from the "History" menu.
Select the false positive file (one click) and click on the "Send to
analysis" button.
Fill in your e-mail address
Confirm the dialog

This way file will be sent to our virus specialists for analysis and we
will inform you about the result.

I loaded it and got 3 false positives in minutes. Programs that were
years old. I dumped it within hours. I've moved to Avast as so many
people have suggested it is comparable.

Yes, I did think it was an improvement over 7.5. My only issue was the
false positives. I marked a few as "don't treat this as a virus" or
whatever, but I just didn't want to waste the time doing it goodness
knows how many more times. I guess lazy. I'm not saying its bad, I
just want to say they are a bit more over zealous. But I guess in the
long run that's not the worst thing to happen to you in life. Sure
better than letting anything leak through by a far cry.

I think you need to be a bit more direct with this idiot and tell him to go
f*** himself. Otherwise, it's clearly a bit too advanced for this
teenager to understand.

AVG is made by Grisoft De, Asus is by Asus Inc
Neither is part of or has any relationship with the OS any more than the
Aftermarket alarm or dvd player have to do with the motor
Grisoft have support forums
Asus have support forums
F-off there and ask them

Is that English you are trying to use?

1. This is a program that is TOTALLY seperate from the XP OS.
2. It's not even produced by Microsoft.

YOU are wrong. Care to try again? Next time, try to be more literate
in your post, please.

Yes, I need more input to perfect the filter. I'm not up to installing
agent. Its not worth that much to succeed on this.

Jerry, I am certainly having a bad experience since installing the commercial
version of AVG 8.0. It wiped out my 7.0 MSN Messenger and I had to download
and install the new windows live messenger. Now I am having trouble opening
links to this newsgroup after receiving an e-mail in my MSN Premisum, plus I
am having trouble opening power point program and WMV file. I did not have
this trouble before installing AVG 8.0. I think it is a crappy program and I
wish I would have kept AVG 7.0 until they got all the bugs out of the newer
program.

I would uninstall then reinstall using custom options
Uncheck email, uncheck office, uncheck toolbar.
And do this:
If you wish to install AVG 8.0 Free Edition without the LinkScanner
component,

I am still using 7.5, just some suggestions I have found to do before I
install v.8.

mae, thanks for your information. For some strange reasons after I was
notified in my MSN email that my question had been answered I was able to
click on it and return to you answer in this forum. I have not been able to
do that before after installing AVG 8.0. Now if I was just able to open the
power point file being sent to me as well as the WMV files I would be back in
business like when I had the AVG 7.5 version. I do not have any problems
opening the power point files I had stored on my computer prior to the
installation of 8.0. This would indicate to me that something is happening to
the files coming into my MSN Email but I have not found anything yet that
would cause it. I do have a question in to the AVG technical team but it
takes them so long to answer. The last time it took them over a week to get
back to me. I was hoping that some one on this forum may had this problem
before and found a cure. Thanks mae, I will consider what you have advised.
By the way I did not install the AVG tool bar.

Thanks for sharing that information with me Marx. I will definately consider
what you have said. I have never had any problem with the 7.5 AVG which I had
for two years.

Wayne

Thanks marx. I will give it consideration. I have the commercial version of
AVG Antivirus which cost me $42.00. Hopefully they will find, and remove some
of the bugs out of it. At least for the last two times now, I have been able
to click on this link in my MSN e-mail and come back to this answer. For some
unknown reason I could not do that before. If I can figure out a way to open
the WMV files I receive I will be ok. Since I also upgraded to windows live
messenger from MSN Messenger I am beginning to wonderif that may be my
problem. The only thing that is strange is I do not have any problems opening
WMV or power point files that I had saved on my computer before installing
AVG. and windows live messenger so I don't really know which one to blame.
Although I do know that AVG did screw up my MSN Messenger and that is the
only reason I changed to windows live messenger.
