Moderators rridgely Posted September 7, 2007 Moderators Share Posted September 7, 2007 Not the first time its done this. I reported it last time and the guys at avg fixed it pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted September 7, 2007 Author Moderators Share Posted September 7, 2007 Several more AV's are also picking it up. It isn't because of the file being UPX compressed, it's still detected by AVG even after decompressing it with UPX. VirusTotal.com scan: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avie Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Dang they update stuff fast... good for them! AJ I am a AVG user for 2 years. They are wonderful, I must add. I use the suite (plus) with firewal and nothing else . Never had any intrusions to date. Just thought I would addin where credit gets due attention.
