Hello I have windows 7 prof. with avg paid version it lets me download some cheat programs but some it won't I tried allowing it the program for spider fighter through the resident shield but it still wont work ( DAMN you AVG ) My question is does anyone know how to disable avg so i can download and update my spider fighter. One thing interesting before i tried to update spider fighter I updated world class sol program with no problems at all. This is the first time avg has screwed with me with downloading from badgehelp I know the programs don't have viruses the folks at avg have there heads up there asses i guess. if anyone can help i would be grateful If i didn't have avg activated until 2012 i would say the hell with it and go with nortons but I kind a don't like norton's cause the way it drains the cpu's
Thanks Les
tumbsup.gif cheesy.gif Ok i figured it out avg pisses me off next yr they can kiss my ass.gif
DAMN DAMN I finale got it downloaded but when i try to open it it won't let me DAMN does this mean that i'll have to disable my avg just to run the program?
I just sent avg a copy of the file and hopefully they will git there crap together or they can kiss my ass.gif
yeah...you'll have to turn it off but make sure you leave your windows firewall on. You wouldn't want someone intruding through your back door. hysterical.gif hysterical.gif hysterical.gif
I'm going to give avg 7 working day's to solve this issue and if they don't fix it I'm leaving them ass.gif and I suppose I'll go with the cpu eating Norton internet securities. sad.gif
I used to use the AVG free version. I switched to the free version of Avira and haven't had a single issue. Virus free and haven't had it interfere with any program I've ever run.
les, I've used Norton for years and they have improved it a great deal over time. It no longer is the resource hog it once was, yet it's old rep still follows it everywhere. I do know it's very easy to disable Norton if I have a problem with a BH download, and I don't know if you have tried this with AVG yet, but I also install the program before I re-enable Norton...it's always worked here. Good luck.
Thanks for info JustDon Avg I hope will get this issue squared away but we will see I'm still waiting for them to get back with me. I've been with them like 7 yrs and this is the worst and first issue I've had with them and it really has me mad. My avg isn't up till march 1012 so if i do switch to Nortons hopefully they will give me some cash back or I guess I could put my license up for a contest if anyone would want to try to win it something like guess a number between 1 and 1000 closest to the number can have it beer11.gif
I have the Free AVG & would like to no, how do you disable it temporary to download a cheat.? Ive read you saying too, but no 1 has said how. Im a elderly lady who dont understand these techie words LOL any help will be greatly appreciated. TY coffee.gif
MsMissy if you go to advanced setting you will see the temporarily disable avg protection thingy just click on it and your set tumbsup.gif But once you enable it the next time you do a scan it will tell you you have a virus with the cheat programs you have updated. I have no problem with the older versions just the newest versions of the cheat programs But the old one won't work i noticed last night popfu won't work and avg say's the new version is a virus and you can't access them at all unless you disable avg while you play which sucks.
email from AVG
Dear Sir/Madam,
thank you for your email.
Unfortunately, the current virus database version may detect the mentioned virus on some legitimate applications. We can confirm that it is a false alarm. We would like to inform you that the false positive will be removed in the next Definitions update. Please update your AVG and if a new Definitions update was downloaded, check whether the file is still detected.
If you need to restore deleted files from AVG Virus Vault you can do it this way:
- Open AVG user interface.
- Choose "Virus Vault" option from the "History" menu.
- Locate the file that was incorrectly removed and select it (one click).
- Click on the "Restore" button.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Best regards,
Petr Sevcik

MsMissy I know what you mean I was having a major problem also when i disabled avg so i could update my cheats right after i enabled avg. Avg on my next scan would find the cheats as viruses and would not let me access them at all. I was going nuts. I'm just glad that avg acted fast after I sent them a copy of the so called virus to solve this issue.
How can something be a "false alarm"? Either something IS a virus or it's not. If these idiotic AV companies get tipped off that something could be bad, they should test it. I am sick of this "shoot and ask questions later" mentality these idiots have. I haven't run ANY AV in over 10 years. I wouldn't trust my computer in the hands of a company that doesn't even test things and labels programs as viruses under "suspicion".
What a bunch of morons.

That's the problem. They are lazy and unwilling to devote the proper resources to classify things correctly.
Upon doing my nightly scan tonight avg found that the program for turbo 21 (hitme2) was a virus DAMN them fools.
I have sent them a copy of the file so they should have this fixed soon I HOPE. I have explained to avg that all programs from badgehelp.com are virus free and CNET certified as to be virus free in a not so settle way. I hope they get my point. swear2.gif
Les
One day I may d/l AVG, just for entertainment...or probably not? les, you seem to be the point person to help anyone here with that AV program...great job!.....and damn I'm so sorry....I still bid zero for your AV program! Norton noticed the cnet thing a few days ago, I had no issues updating a program as a result. I hope that helps the BH folks know that there are a few AV companies that can learn.......most people here also know that these d/l issues are new, there are NO viruses attached, and perhaps this crap is even instigated by pogo and EA. All we would like, is the chance, to earn a badge. I'll get off my soapbox now and wish good luck to BH, Homer, les, and the very old person here that helped me get a badge in bridge, and cracked me up big time a few years ago.
hi11.gif Hitme2 is off avg's potential virus list as of this morning. I received the same email from avg as I posted before. I noticed I had a bigger then usual update from avg so hopefully them morons have fixed this issue with badgehelp.com, CNET downloads. We will see slap1.gif I would hope avg is getting tired of my reports of their screw ups to them giggle2.gif
Les
Upon doing my nightly scan AGAIN avg found another cheat program as a virus swear2.gif this time I said the hell with it and opened up avg restored the file from the virus vault then I went to Resident Sheild and added the hole badgehelp folder to the excluded items beer11.gif never again will I have to worry about avg screwing with my cheat programs tease.gif
