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.

@q25: What was wrong with the lop removal tool?

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 :undecided:
