5 years ago AVG was fairly light on resources, these days it's pretty close to Norton in terms of being a useless PoS.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Wait. This program is deleting files from your hard drive without allowing you to say "No **** you program I like that file and will keep it!" ? Time to run the uninstall and get a new anti virus.


No, he just dosen't know how to remove the .exe from the virus vault :( Could have been back up in less then a minute.

It being a little early for "April Fool's", I guess you're pooched. Hope that helps. Blink

I have my comp set up so that anytime some software tries to add or delete a file a dialog box comes up. You should try it.

Wouldn't the repair tool be better than re-downloading everything? Or did that get deleted too?

people using avg? really ? Or just a troll post.

Why do you need a virus scan in the first place? going to fap fap sites or you press "ok, yes yes yes yes install god damn it yes yes ok done ok"? yah then you need one....

If AVG is deleteing files without your permission first. You're doing it wrong. I've been using AVG for years without any problems at all. It's always asked permission to delete files for me.

Every once in a while Norton AV decides to block net access for Eve and / or Steam, but it's never up and ganked 'em. Sounds like the makers of AVG spent too much time in J-Space.

OP... stop opening links in the in-game browser. That's where I went wrong. Haven't had a problem since.

I'm not exactly happy with Avast right now. Apparently they think I don't actually want to keep and read logs of what my antivirus is doing.

Hey man,

as I work in AVG as a Customer Care specialist I would like to ask you to provide us with details of this false positive detection. I have tested my installation of EvE just now and there is no false on binaries, so this must be bahvioral detection.

Please kindly check following webpage for more details how to contact us or how to report such false alarm:

Thank you
