tHERE IS SOME THINGS i DON'T LIKE WITH AVG. iTS SHELL, SCANNERS AND THE REST OF ITS SCANNERS DO NOT MATCH. IE IF i SCAN SOMETHING WITH THE SHIELD ON AND ITS DETECTED AS A VIRUS, THE MAIN SCANNER WILL DETECT IT BUT THE SHELL SCANNER WILL NOT EVEN IF i SCAN THE FILE. mORE OVER EVERY FILE WITH 2 EXTENTIONS IE .BAT.TIF, .TXT.BAT, ETC WILL DETECT AS A VIRUS. gRANTED SOME OF THIS IS NEEDED. BUT IF A FILE FROM LINUX CONVERT IS .LNX.TXT OR .TXT.LNX THEN IT AINT A VIRUS IS IT. aND OK IF A FILE SAYS .JPG.EXE THEN OK, UNLESS OFCAUSE YOU LAGITIMATELY MADE IT THAT WAY. i FOUND THE SHIELD A REAL PROBLEM WHEN USING LINUX. i HAD TO CONVERT UNIX TEXT AND WINDOWS TEXT QUITE FREQUENTLY. wHAT i'D DO WOULD TO NAME MY LINUX FILE AS THE NAME OF THE SYSTEM IE UNX UNIX LNX LINUX, DOS ETC. aT THE END i'D NAME THE FILES AS SUCH FILE.LNX.TXT CONVERTED FILE FILENAME.DOS.TXT aND THEN AFTER THAT i'D RENAME THE FILES FILENAME.LNX AND FILENAME .TXT ONCE CONVERTED AND i HAD ENOUGH WITH THAT. i'D GET THINGS LIKE AVG HAS FOUND CLICKER 5S TROGEN OR AVG HAS FOUND GENERIC VIRUS32WIN. sOMETIMES ITS NOT THE FAULT OF AVG, AS IN NVDA SOME VERSIONS OF PY2EXE ARE KNOWN TO GENERATE VIRUS LIKE ALERTS BECAUSE OF HOW THEY ARE WRITEN. hOWEVER i'VE ALWAYS DISABLED EVERYTHING IN AVG EXCEPT FOR THE UPDATERS, AND VVOLT AND SHELL AS WELL AS EMAIL. i LEAVE SHIELDS OFF BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEEM TO LIKE SOME THINGS. ON A SIDE NOTE, AV SOFTWARE WILL DETECT KEYGENS, ETC AS VIRUSES. aVG IN GENERAL HAS ISSUES BUT YOU CAN AVOID THEM, IT JUST INVOLVES YOU BEING ON YOUR TOES. oH AND SPEAKING TO PEOPLE ABOUT THE VIRUSES AVG DETECTS FINDS THEY DON'T EVEN EXIST. tRUE, AVG HAS FOUND SOME VIRUSES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS, AND KILLED THEM. hOWEVER IT SOMETIMES PUTS GAME INSTALLS AS VIRUSES. i'D STILL USE AVG, BUT AVOID THE SHIELD AND SCHEDULAR. iF YOU MUST USE SHIELDS, PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT IT IS DOING aLSO i NEVER LIKED AVG PRO MUCH.
