    "AVG gave a "Threat Detected" warning"

    May 16, 2011  |   By VinceInTX

    Pros

    N/A. Didn't risk installing it.

    Cons

    Triggered virus scanner.

    Summary

    Perhaps the coding for this application merely coincidentally resembled a virus. It's odd that no other screen saver I've ever installed has, but it's possible. Regardless, I will not install this until and unless there is a CNET official clear-of-virus statement, and an explanation from the publisher, or it is re-written to not trigger a virus alert.

    This AVG alert is a false-positive. It's because of the compiler/compression. AVG was already warned about this, hope next update will solve this issue.
    There's a new version being developed from scratch and I hope it'll not show this warning anymore.
