Hey everyone at DaniWeb !
Dell Dimension 2350, SP2, completely updated. I run AVG free 8.0 and use Zonealarm, Spyware Blaster. I scan my computer a lot !
On AVG Free 8.0, it doesn't find "infections", but it does find a BUNCH,(aprox. 200), WARNINGS.
Here is an example of just one of the warnings.....
hklm\software\internetexplorer\activexcompatibility\{002AF282-E42D-4B51-9F70-F1570C02FAAD} Found adware Generic
All of the entries are the same , up to and including the "activexcompatibility\. After that , they are all different,such as all the details included between the { } .
Under the "infection" colum, they are different, such as ......."found adware. generic, found trojan.bomka, found downloader Conhook.l, found adware.internetoptimizer....
When I run other spyware programs, none of them find anything.
Avg won't clean these so called "warnings", they just keep adding up, more and more !
I can't seem to figure out how to copy all the results from a scan either.
Are these just false positives ? Am I really infected and AVG is just off it's game ?
Any and all help is appreciated.

Over 200 people looked at this thread, and nobody else has had this problem ???
WOW. Surely I am not the only one that has used AVG 8.0 and had this happen. I put AVG 8.0 on another computer of mine and it done the same thing. Anybody with any help would be appreciated !

Ok, after some more research , here is what I found. AVG is now aware that there free AVG Anitivirus 8.0 , is conflicting with SpywareBlaster and Spybot's immunisation protection. See this artical..... http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic146069.html
AVG is supposed to send out a patch to fix this issue.
Closing this thread and waitin on a patch !
