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.

Time to switch to Kapersky. I was also recommended AVG Free by some of those online so-called experts. So I was on that for the longest time. That was until my relative's computer got infected by don't-remember-what big-time virus. Then it was up to my cousin who got the AV tip--from a Chinaman forum no less, and installed the AOL free Kapersky AKA Active Virus Shield. It's been good so far, no problems yet, knock wood. I've also changed my Firefox recently to Safari, which I found has reduced Spyware problem to zero. Before this, Spybot Search and Destroy used to come up with entries associated with Firefox, regardless of NoScript. Now the detection comes up with nothing. Hope this lasts.

You can install firefox in yr home PC. Then copy the whole folder from Program files and save into your thumb drive.
Then you can run firefox from any PC right from your thumbdrive! thumbup.gif
