The horror! (Pronounce this the way Marlon Brando does in Apocalypse Now...)

So my AVG told me that my Plants vs Zombies.exe file was infected with a Win32 virus. OH NOES. Except... AVG detects no viruses when I run a scan, Malwarebytes detects no viruses, Hijackthis tells me all is good, etc. So I visited the AVG website forums, and apparently the latest update is rife with false positives! People's games are being virus-vaulted by AVG free when there's actually nothing wrong with them.

They're apparently putting a fix into the next update. But in the meantime, how do I play Plants vs. Zombies???? Wahhhhhh!

In other news, my Game On diet starts again tomorrow. Wooot! I need it desperately, for I have been slothful and gluttonous the last month or so.

Ahhhhhh! WHAT WILL YOU DO?!

You need a Gnauga Anti-Virus Program. Like this one:

I totally just bought a t-shirt with that on it. My boobs like like they're going to EAT THE WORLD! Best shirt ever.

Chompy boobs, yayyyyy!

So does it scare away the viruses by being scary? :)

You actually sound very responsible! :)

I went to Trader Joe's tonight for the healthy food, and then next door to Panera Bread for a pumpkin muffin and a chai tea latte. Then I came home and ate peanut M&Ms.

Oh, I know! I can't wait until PopCap comes up with an Android version of the game but ... it's probably a good thing that they haven't so far because I'm not going to get anything done!!!

I would truly die if my Plants vs. Zombies goes away. So I sympathize...although I don't know what to tell you to do. Maybe run screaming around the house?

I'm so with you on the diet...I ate well today--have to work off those seven pounds I gained back in the past three months. Lent...here I come! (And I know you will do well too!)

I think I'm going to go and cry myself to sleep.... weeeeeep! (It's your fault I have Plants vs. Zombies in the first place, hee.)

Yay for working off that winter weight! ::hugs::

Well...isn't that some shit right there?

I had that happen with Avast a while back and it went like this:

Me: WHY THE FUCK DO I EVEN HAVE VIRUS PROGRAAAAMMSS???

End of story. LOL.

Derp, late reply is late! :)

And man, I was thinking about switching to Avast... so it does the same thing, eh? Darn.

I guess I'd rather have a virus program than lose my computer, sigh.
