AVG Anti-Virus Deleted my exe's [SetupBuilder 4]

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich,

AVG 7.1 Anti-Virus identified all my SB 4 install exe's as Spy Ware and
deleted them all. No real damage but what is causing this?

Lynn,

Well, it seems to be a "false positive". What you can do is to contact
Grisoft and tell them about this so they can update their virus/spyware
database.

Does this help?

Lynn,

I contacted Grisoft. This happens to all installation tool vendors 10-20
times a year. There is nothing you (or we) can do against it.

Well Russ that might just work. <G>

I was wondering why AVG thought I was generating spy ware though.

McAfee went through this a few years ago.

Lynn,

I was only kidding. ;-) Please don't change your tool because of a cheeky
comment. <g>

Hi Russ,

Now you tell me. <G>

BTW IIR you might have been the one who recommended AVG. (Maybe)

I like it a lot.

Weren't me, I think <g>. NAV guy here. Only one to actually trap the WMF
problem. Update is now out from MS.
