i know just enough about computers to get into trouble... and i got as far as the "add path" part under the resident sheild exceptions... i can't find the disney file and have no idea where to look...
I will post a screen dump, its really easy and satisfying as well, as AVG is being paranoid just now.

I have had that happen to me once. It was near the end of my Norton year so I then switched to McAfee.

No problems so far!

The BEST virus protection is your own caution.
I generally don't use any virus protection software, so far all the computers I have used in the past 5 years have been clean.
I do scan weekly though with sever virus protection progams lol, I guess that counts as using virus protection :\
(I meant that I don't have them run in the background) ...

Hmm, i never had this problem. That's because i got Avast! Anti-Virus, it works wonders. If any of you ever get this problem again, try it, it helps. Just like the last poster that mentioned it.

Sorry to bump up old threads, but this is happening to me NOW. Exact same things. I have AVG 8.5 and it just randomly started going balistic over pirates when i booted up this morning. What am I to do? Im installing AVG 9 now, and hoping that will fix it. But I've been running AVG 8.5 fine with pirates until now.

Okay, figured it out. Just reinstall, even though it won't really work. Then follow the same steps. Pirates is gonna have to redo all the updates, and it takes forever, but then the icon and everything will once again work. To think I spent 5 hours deteling programs and files and freaking out over nothing.

I use a Mac...
If this virus WAS a real threat, it wouldn't affect me...
Would it...?
What should I do?
Maybe I should ask Jason Davy again...

Same thing here, yet again, not sure why AVG can't get it through their thick skulls that it's not a virus. BTW Disney does keep telling them this.

Well, I don't even have AVG, and I wasn't alerted of anything, and it appears as though it's not that big of a deal so...
I feel better.
