    I had read the other post concerning this matter, and just making sure that this is an error. The virus DB version is 271.1.1/2876
    My AVG is poping up saying virus detected. c:/mgtools detected as trojan horse dropper.VB.DCI. Thnaks for the help.
    let me know which logs you'd like to see if any.

    It is a false positive. We are seeing more and more AV programs targeting legit malware removal tools as infected. That is why we ask you to disable all your AV and AS software while you run the scans.

    We request these logs:
    SAS
    MBAM
    RootRepeal
    ComboFix
    C:\MGLogs.zip
