AVG 8.0 keying off of C:\Program Files\Dell\Support\bin\ - Most likely false positive

You're quite welcome!

As far as contact procedures,

let's say the AVG (a.k.a. Grisoft) "free" forum is a little hesitant to acknowledge FP reports,

so I've contacted interested parties directly through

their preferred contact points and means for such issues.

Note: This is no derision on any security company or their procedures, by any means. False Positives happen to all and all my postings are my own.

AVG's forum is one of the least-friendly, least-cooperative forums we've encountered.   There are a handful of (non-employee) "moderators" there, who seem to have complete control in terms of derailing and censoring posts... but who, when ultimately questioned about their actions, then "cling" to the fact that they don't work for AVG.

Rather than taking simple compassionate steps to help novice/distressed users, they typically bypass many problems by claiming that the user didn't properly follow their stringent guidelines on how to post there.

when someone else replies to a thread, either to corroborate the original poster's findings, or to offer their own solution, such posts are often censored entirely, with the "moderators" typically asserting that the post was non-responsive or non-helpful.  

This is not just my own experience, but the experience of many others who have had problems trying to contact the AVG forum.

As BB has noted, there seems to be a mild avalanche of likely-FP's bombarding AVG at the moment.   Unfortunately, there's not much you can do with AVG, unless/until they finally decide to get around to the problem.

I totally agree with ky331's opinion of the AVG Free forum.

Not only does the mod's attitude discourage reporting of false positives, it delays their fixing. And although the AVG forum may be moderated by "non-employees", it is owned by AVG, unlike many other malware forums. I do not know of any other reputable vendor support forum that discourages the reporting of FPs- most say "thanks!", and fix them quickly.

This is only one (and by no means the least) of the reasons why I no longer recommend AVG Free. I say this as a long-time former user who once did recommend it. Alwil's avast! or Avira's AntiVir are far better free AVs, IMHO.

Free security software: A primer

I've just seen a report at the AVG forum alleging the problem has been fixed.

1) UPDATE your avg to get the latest definitions.

2) restore the files (only those from this particular problem) that were quarantined

3) run an avg scan, and hopefully, it won't pick up on this again
