It was quickly fixed with next AVG update, but now it detects Klone.Z virus in same files. Personally I wouldn’t trust antivirus that can’t make decision about virus name. :) You may check your files at virusscan.jotti.org or at www.virustotal.com.

If you want to report the false positive please read here (thanks Jonathan for link).

You can disable AVG from scanning some folders. To do this:
1. Start AVG user interface
2. Select ‘Tools’ - Advanced settings
3. Select ‘Resident Shield’ - ‘Exceptions’
4. Click on ‘Add Path’
5. Browse to the path to be excluded from AVG scanning
6. Click on OK

AVG Anti-virus Research Lab has analyzed the file(s) you have sent from your AVG Virus Vault. Below you can find the results for each file. The final verdict on the file is either a correct detection or a false positive detection.

You can shuffle your tray icons as well with Ctrl key pressed. Middle mouse click on a taskbar button/group will close it. Very handy when you need to close lot of running apps. Splash screen and tray icon can be turned off.

It will now display the amount of both read and written data.

    This version is still in development, any suggestions are welcomed.

    Update: v2.0 beta is released

Support of multiple protocols (AIM, ICQ, MSN Messenger, Yahoo!, Google Talk) is exactly what I need for technical support purposes.

    Some time ago Trillian was the good option, but then I discovered QIP, which was much better in many aspects. Unfortunately, QIP works with the ICQ protocol only, but I still highly recommend it to the ICQ fans who do not like to mess with plugins. QIP already has a lot of nice features in the standard package.

    Pidgin looks rather simple right after install, but it comes with plenty of plugins. There are many useful ones, so check them out. Additionaly, I’ve downloaded Guifications, a customizable plugin for “toaster” popup notifications. You can see here how it looks.
