Has anybody else been warned by AVG free v7.5.503 (fully updated) that it's found this trojan in both plugins > Trojan horse PSW.OnlineGames.PLZ ?

I assume these are false positives, but just thought I'd ask.

You probably don't know that viruses and trojans infect executables. Don't blame your plugins! Mad

Strangely enough, I did know that, I wasn't blaming the plugins, Mr Cunty I know everything 21 posts, the exe's and uninstallers for both Vaz Plus and Vaz 2010 have been flagged by AVG as infected. I was only asking if anybody else had seen this?

FYI Dynamic-link libraries (dll files) also can be infected by a virus, since the file formats for DLLs are the same as for Windows EXE files. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic-link_library

I doubt VAZ is really infected though. Probably a false alarm.

Vaz no doubt is one sick synth, but i doubt if it has that type of Virus Smile ..

Firebird+ is a must. SonicCore SCOPE is the most. As heart of studio it has my vote, cause XITE-1 is all she wrote.

Yeah, I assumed the warnings were false positives as both have been installed for a couple of years now, and the installers backed up on my D drive even longer, without any problems till today. It was only when doing a routine full system scan they were picked up as infected, I just wanted to ask here before I go pestering Martin over what is probably nothing.
