Take a look at the screenshot.... Everytime i refresh/surf LYN my AVG will pop-up this warning.... Doesnt happens when i surf other websites like hotmail.com
Added on July 15, 2007, 3:35 pmI just run ccleaner to clear the temp/history folder but it comes out again when i refresh LYN website This post has been edited by WaCKy-Angel: Jul 15 2007, 03:35 PM

resistance is futile

Unless a more reputable AV software reports the same, we're not going to be bothered investigating this.
AVG lets genuine worms and viruses run riot, while pops up threat detection warnings for harmless scripts.
-----------------------------------
The fade.js script on our server (which is what AVG seems to be blocking) hasn't been changed since late 2005.

Hmm, probably the definitions are not updated properly. :/
Mine seems to be okay though.

I have to agree that AVG is less than average AV program. It appears to be a false positive. Switch to Active Virus Shield Powered by Kaspersky ( NOTE: please do NOT install the AOL Security Toolbar that comes with it) or Avira AntiVir PE Classic if you're looking for good and FREE alternatives. ~~~

i would recommend avg because it is free and has never given me false negatives.
i wouldnt know if they give me false negatives or not because if it says whatever i downloaded (usually cra... i mean some *.exe files) are harmful, i agree with it

AVG is free and good agree with wild card my... the false positive are not that high every anti virus has false positive... and the detection rate even higher than pc cillin (PC WORLD review)

Try using FireFox with your current AVG.
THe other option is to install Norton AV and see if Norton prompts this to you.
Also, clear off the temp int folder and do not allow cookies to be auto stored. Perhaps you can narrow it down.

I did send in the report to them[avg] today. I cant use Firefox due to my work purpose. Tried emptyin my temp as well. did not work. i'm running on avg licensed as well. there must be some update on LYN server or AVG updates.hmm...
