    I have AVG and it keeps detecting things that are not a threat

    such as i'm trying to get GLquake working which i install off a legal copy and the stupid thing eventually pops up saying its a threat and has removed it.......:mad

    another one i had was playing Rune game through Steam, when i try out the multiplayer same thing happens



    is there else anything better then AVG?

    AVG is fine it is the program you are running there must be a issue with it.Might want to tell the makers of that program you are using.

    AVG is most likely detecting a False/positive.

    Here's the link for the freeware version of Avast. You do have to register it with Alwil Software though.

    Kazenji I was talking about the games or what ever you where trying to play.

    AVG is probably giving a false positive on the programs you are trying to use.

    Like i said in my previous post go to the game makers fourms or and tell them that AVG is giving a false positive.There is nothing wrong AVG i have the pro version and i play tons of games and it is not giving any warnings.

    mdonah there is no need to switch anti virus scanners if it is giving a false positive.

    Gone to the AVG forums to tell them

    see what they say to it

    also i know with AVG in the advanced settings, There's a thing for exceptions i've tried that for Rune and yet it continues to detect it.

    Might want to head Rune fourms as well and tell them that the game is being called a False Positive.
