Whoops, slip of the fingers. I meant AutoIT3

I've just downloaded the latest AVG virus patterns and reinstalled AutoIT2. It looks like its ok now. Phew! With luck my customers won't notice. I know that the virus checkers have to key on a pattern but that realy doesn't excuse them for this sort of thing. There are loads of programs around that ship with embedded run time code. Microsoft MFC when compiled as a static library comes to mind and there must be loads of other similar examples. I guess that AutoIT is just an excellent tool for writing viruses quickly in and that's because it's an awesome tool. This problem has made me think twice about what I'm doing though. Stev

That's great to hear. Apart from downloading it, how did you know that the problem was fixed? Steve

I can't get Grisofts online support form to work http://www.grisoft.com/doc/119/lng/ww/tpl/tpl01 It gives me an error "Sorry for the inconvenience. Unspecified technical error has occurred (server could be busy, etc.) Please try to submit your question again later. Thank you!" Anyone had any luck reporting this? Steve

When I restore the files AVG still denies me access to them :-( Steve

It's wiped out my Aut2exe app too. I can't even recreate my exe's :-( AutoIT is such a brilliant tool. I had plans to do all sorts of things with it and some products have already gone out with a compiled script in them. Luckily its only about 8 copies but that's bad enough. I had not even considered that something like this could happen. Please everyone send in your scripts and exes to Grisoft as soon as you can. Steve

I'm not sure I can do this as I'm using the Free version. I don't feel like buying a copy just to tell them that it's no good :-( Does anyone have a paid licence to AVG? Steve

I'm very worried about this. I've posted a message in the AVG Free forum but I don't know what else I can do. Does anyone have any advice please? I'm sure that this is going to affect anyone using AVG. Steve

My AVG is set to update automaticaly so there is a good chance that the defs were updated this morning. What can I do about it though? I can't turn off the virus checker and what do I tell the people that have my scripts? Steve

This morning all my compiled scripts and the compiler were deleted by AVG claiming to have detected the virus I-Worm/Generic AQC !!!HELP!!! I don't know what to do about this. Do my scripts realy have this virus or is this a false trigger? I've sent lots of my scripts to other people who are going to have the same problem so I need to sort this out fast. Any help will be welcome. Steve
