AVG have become a virus

[andreasaspenberg]

i had it installed on my pc and it destroyed harmless files while marking them as infected for no reason. it blocked my access to it so that i couldnt terminate it. i just figured that i should warn people about it so that other people dont do the same mistake as i did.

I'm really sorry, but AVG is not the problem, you are. Couldn't find any nicer way to put it, but what you said simply isn't true.

 

[takakenji]

ummm no antiviruses do not do that

 

[Squiggy]

Avg is an antivirus, not a virus except for when you download an illegal copy of otnwhich again puts you at fault.
The only false files may relate to cracks, keygens, patches and the likes because their program structuresnare alike to viruses.

Guys, it is Mr. Aspenberg again, duh.
Do not expect anything than masterful trolling and/or total stupidity.

And now, we do not do the same mistake.

It is also possible that all his executable have become damage. Some malware could try and modify every single executable so when any are run it is able to re-infect the machine.

Yeah, no, they were infected files. And you cannot terminate it for obvious reasons. Seeing as how terminating a process does not require administrative mode, it would have been a major vulnerability in the software.

This is why you don't put the Heuristic setting to High. False Positives, False Positives everywhere.
