AVG8.0 has treated the AsusUpdate (7.13.04 ) as a trojan (a back door
trojan). When I download the latest version or update it via the AsusUpdate
program, it is locked by AVG as an threat alert !!!

1320:
AVG detects infection on file that I suppose to be clean
In case AVG Free detects some file on your PC as infected, this file was
moved to AVG Virus Vault, and you are sure that this file is correct and
clean, it is possible that the detected file is a false alarm. If so, we
shall prepare the correction as soon as possible. Unfortunately, false
alarms do appear from time to time in every Anti-Virus software.
To solve the problem, please send us this file for analysis directly
from the AVG Free program this way:

Open AVG Free User Interface.
Choose the "Virus Vault" option from the "History" menu.
Select the false positive file (one click) and click on the "Send to
analysis" button.
Fill in your e-mail address
Confirm the dialog

This way file will be sent to our virus specialists for analysis and we
will inform you about the result.

So the free version doesn't yet include an exclusion list?

You're asking about AVG 8?

YES, it does and it's user-configurable.

Yes, I did think it was an improvement over 7.5. My only issue was the
false positives. I marked a few as "don't treat this as a virus" or
whatever, but I just didn't want to waste the time doing it goodness
knows how many more times. I guess lazy. I'm not saying its bad, I
just want to say they are a bit more over zealous. But I guess in the
long run that's not the worst thing to happen to you in life. Sure
better than letting anything leak through by a far cry.

The only problem I had here was with its Resident Shield which
monitors changes to programs.

Right after I installed it, I had problems with Microsoft Outlook. I
would often have to close Outlook and re-open it to get it to work.
Seems that the Outlook.pst file was "locked" by AVG somehow and
Outlook couldn't use it.

I configured it to NOT monitor anything in the Outlook directory and
all has been well.

AVG is made by Grisoft De, Asus is by Asus Inc
Neither is part of or has any relationship with the OS any more than the
Aftermarket alarm or dvd player have to do with the motor
Grisoft have support forums
Asus have support forums
F-off there and ask them

1. This is a program that is TOTALLY seperate from the XP OS.
2. It's not even produced by Microsoft.

YOU are wrong. Care to try again? Next time, try to be more literate
in your post, please.

agent. Its not worth that much to succeed on this.

Jerry, I am certainly having a bad experience since installing the commercial
version of AVG 8.0. It wiped out my 7.0 MSN Messenger and I had to download
and install the new windows live messenger. Now I am having trouble opening
links to this newsgroup after receiving an e-mail in my MSN Premisum, plus I
am having trouble opening power point program and WMV file. I did not have
this trouble before installing AVG 8.0. I think it is a crappy program and I
wish I would have kept AVG 7.0 until they got all the bugs out of the newer
program.

I would uninstall then reinstall using custom options
Uncheck email, uncheck office, uncheck toolbar.
And do this:
If you wish to install AVG 8.0 Free Edition without the LinkScanner
component,

I am still using 7.5, just some suggestions I have found to do before I
install v.8.
