Ok I am new so I will make this as painless as possible. Why do people use this AVG product? I have seen quite a few threads about it and am concerned for my fellow TheBat! users. Please point your browser to the very reputable/independent virus testing lab - virus bulletin http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/archives/products.xml?avg.xml This lab tests virus products from all vendors who wish to have their product tested. If you notice AVG has failed all the tests except 1. This is obviously not a very good product.

Therefore many security professionals would state that not detecting a non-virus is a good thing. False positives will cause a failure at the prestigious virus bulletin testing labs. I would be more concerned that AVG failed all but 1 test than I would that it failed to detect the eicar-file. Again, not trying to step on peoples toes but simply wish to provide my fellow TheBat! users with some accurate information. I would recommend you to use Nod32. It has the best results of any product tested at virus bulletin. I use Nod32 in conjunction with TheBat! and I have never had one virus problem. -- Best regards, rick mailto:zufandel@;adelphia.net ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
