I was just minding my own business roaming null when all of a sudden... AVG DELETES EVE ONLINE!
I stared in horror for 2 minutes as I watched this stupid piece of **** anti-virus ****-up delete my beloved game! I'm re-downloading everything now because of this pile of crap.

Happened to me too, although it only deleted exefile.exe.

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.

PRO-TIP

Use a separate computer for browsing porn. That way, your game PC won't require an antivirus.

Good tip but don't use windows as that separate computer / VM

At least when your PC gets a virus, it doesn't set your **** on fire.

Tell me again about how every playstyle you dont engage in "doesn't require any effort" and everyone who does it needs to die in a fire. Be sure to mention about how you tried it once but it was too easy/boring/ethnic-homophobic slur.

Not even sure why i still have AVG. It has been a month since i'm getting the same 16 false positives and they can't seem to be bothered to fix it... (I know it's a false positive because many people have reported the same issue and I checked many times with other software, none detected anything)

But yeah, AVG is a PoS.

Use Snake Oil next time. The virus protection is much better.

Sounds like "anti" and "guard" in AVG are meant as sarcasm.

Your doing something wrong, I have been using AVG for 4/5 years and its never Deleted any software.

Your PC is a wannabe Cyberman "DELETE, DELETE, DELETE!!!

You only realise you life has been a waste of time, when you wake up dead.
