AVG 7.5 Flags Online Armor As Trojan
This was posted over a Scot’s Newsletter Forum by Peachy:
Looks like today’s AVG virus database update is flagging oaui.exe as infected with the trojan SHeur.BEKO. This virus apparently does not exist and looks like AVG has caught a false positive. The workaround is to exclude the TallEmu directory but this only works for the paid version of AVG and not the free edition. I told AVG to heal the file but it has quarantined it and won’t let it run.
Hopefully AVG will have a fix for this real soon. I know there will some unhappy campers who use Online Armour along with the Free version of AVG.
Comments welcome.

I installed Online Armor free on Thursday, I think. In the market and not half the size of the free Comodo, OA seemed like really sleek, state-of-the-art, software. Excellent!
Then Friday early p.m. (MST) my AVG7.5 free shot up a dialogue box . . . TROJAN! blah, blah, blah. Seeing that it was hitting on a part of my brand new firewall, I hit “ignore” and moved on. A few minutes later, same thing, same re-actiom. Then again . . . and again. So I went into my AVG controls to try and disable the hit on this item . . . but that’s not a free AVG option (and I’ve come to learn that even the paid versions wouldn’t let it go thru)
Anyway, eventually I get tired of this warning box, so I dared hit cure!
What a mistake that was. I didn’t really grasp what was going on, but AVG basically took control of my PC. After deleting half my firewall, it’d let me re-install the thing, but wouldn’t let me access (use,start,touch) it or it’s associated files. A terrible mess, I tell ya.
There’s too much to write here, but I ended up installing the Comodo free, which is also sleek and current.
During my insanity, of course I ventured over to AVG free forums. What a waste of space that is. They are so rigid on protocol that it’s useless. Folks in a panic want answers, not to be directed to “How to ask a question” crap.
This is the only the 2nd false positive I’ve seen from my AVG in 3 years.
The other wasn’t so destructive. I doubt, had the virus been real, it could have been any more destructive or stress causing.
