Thread Name: Tech:AVG, free upgrade (anti-virus)
Subject: RE: BS: AVG, free upgrade (anti-virus)
I was relatively happy with AVG anti-virus until yesterday when during a routine virus scan it flagged audition.exe (the engine that runs Adobe Audition 1.0) as infected with a "Trojan horse Clicker.GMC"

I couldn't understand why a program that I've used for several years now could suddenly be infected with a virus. But I reinstalled the Adobe program from the original installation disk, and it immediately flagged the audition.exe file and prevented me from using it. So as long as AVG anti-virus is active I am shut out from using Adobe Audition.

And I'm not the only one - there are a bunch of other unhappy Audition users who are similarly affected SEE HERE. I am still waiting after to hear back from AVG support on this problem. Suffice it to say, there are some very unhappy users out there, and it would seem to be AVG's problem. It would be nice to get some timely support from them.

Any ideas for a better anti-virus program (I dumped Norton for AVG when Norton became too expensive and difficult to deal with)?
