You can scan individual files, with ~ 30 antimalware engines at http://virusscan.jotti.org

There have been reports, of false postives, in this forum, within the past month, using AVG.

NO scanning product / device [ AntiVirus, astronomical siting, CAT Scan or MRI scan, artwork attributed to famous masters ] will be 100% accurate. False positives and false negatives, in my opinion, are a fact of life. Even Einstein & Newton made mistakes.

Scan at jotti & post a screen shot of the results.

Which anti spyware / anti malware programs,in addition to AVG do you run? Which version of AVG free?
