AVG detects the SysTray tool as malware

Post by CheerfullyInsane »

After upgrading to the new version of AVG, the SysTray Tool is suddenly detected as malware.
No problems with the earlier version, so either it's a database problem, or I've a virus that slithered in under the radar.

Running Vista Home SP2, GForce 8600GT, 3GB Ram.
AVG v.10.0.1170, database version 426/3288

I use AVG here and it insists the latest Warcraft updater is a Trojan too, so my guess is that it's a false positive. You can always check it with another checked (like MalwareBytes, or one of the many online virus checkers etc) to be doubly sure I guess.

Cheers

Well, I've thrown every system-checker I could think of at it, and no mas.
False positive, for whatever reason.
*shrugs*

Of course now AVG has started screaming bloody murder at every program that opens a port......
Starting to feel like a digitized version of "Invasion of the bodysnatchers" :wink:
