I guess the AVG fix worked? Hopefully there won't be any more problems. Seems to be working fine. Ron - I just re-installed Online Armor without incident 4-14-08. I guess the AVG fix worked?

I'll likely stick w/ComodoFree, at least until my nerves calm down. Then I'll likely try re-installing OA and see if AVG's fix included disabling whatever is blocking the users access to OA and fixing whatever it's -+ broke. IF my system won't allow me to use OA now, then it's up to TallEmu and AVG to get things straightened out. Have you tried releasing whatever AVG protection is enable re:Beko (I think you'll find whatever you've quaranteed with AVG is already back on your system when you opt to "return" the file. That's what happened when I hit "restore" anyway) Best of luck with this. Ron . . . I’ll likely stick w/ComodoFree, at least until my nerves calm down.

If you do a google search for "jotti's online scanner" You will see that they offer a way to scan single files with multiple scanners at one time. at the bottom left of the page you will see current real time results of what all the scanners have recently found. if you hit refresh, the results change. Avg,avast and nod32 either do not find anything (50% of the time) or give a false positive (30% of the time). I find it sickening that so many people defend them three because they are free. So is a twig. Good luck you guys. I really do not like avg or avast or nod32.

I also looked at the AVG forums, faq, and so forth and nothing of any use has been posted as of yet. If you happen to stumble on a solution or fix to the problem, please post your findings and I'll do an update. TIA, Ron Hello Glenn,

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.
