I found similair issues in my cousins system restore file today, tis no biggie and hasnt affected his computer since he got it like 12 months ago when it came up with the same problem.

The problem is constant with AVG, most anti-virus software go into panic mode and detect safe files as a threat. Remember how Messenger Plus! had issues with Windows Defender?

Of course, you gloss over the possibility of BIOS-resident malware as difficult as it is to do right.

Yes I do, it opens pop-ups if I use IE (which i only do to check e-mails cause it's the default thing when I open messenger; no, don't tell me to use stuffplug to get it to open in ff).. it's very annoying
