    Has anybody else used it?

    AVG sometimes gets FP's, so I usually run the suspect file through it. Twice it was false positive, once it was a real virus.

    The stats are quite interesting to look at.

    Yes, also use jotti and subscribe to virusbulletin, to keep up on the news, FPs sadly are going to happen due to malware trying to emulate real files, so always good to be aware of FPs if you know that the app they are falsely accusing is downloaded from legit source
