Red face Solved: Windows XP SP2 a question about the new AVG 8.0 antivirus
Can someone tell me what it means and why when you run the new AVG Antivirus the first time it catches 200 or more items they call warnings, it says 0 infections but like 200 or more under warnings, you can remove them and then they go to the virus vault and you can delete them but why is it catching all this stuff? If a person had antivirus before and regularly ran spybot and had spyblaster and ie-spyad and script defender why is all this stuff all of a sudden being caught? and what is the difference between an infection and a warning? Can someone answer these questions for me??

I believe that AVG 8 is flagging Spywareblaster entries
