Avg Blocking Advanced system care activity since last definition update?

Since my last update AVG has flagged all activity of my Advanced system care software as malware. Is anyone else having this issue? the specific codes it's giving out relate to ASC's junk file removal process and web trace removal functions.

Hello Michael,

We recommend you not to have two or more security products in a same device to avoid conflicts.

Please uninstall any one security product and continue using one to fix this issue.

Advanced system care is not a security product it is a tune up product. the fact you are entering into their market doesn't change that.There was no issue before the last defenition update. While Iobit the company behind it does offer it's own antivirus software i prefer AVG. so why has this change occured? to put it bluntly. AVG is even flagging the reinstall/update of ASC Flagging it as malware for the same reasons as if i was running the search. This all seems pretty targeted. ASC has specifically kept its tune up software and its antivirus as seperate software to avoid just such conflicts for years. So is this a bug with AVG which will be fixed in a future update? or am i going to be forced to jump ship to another antivirus to continue using this software without mysystem bogging down when it runs for upwards of 4 hours due to "active scanning"?

Thank you for the detailed information.

This might be a false detection. Please update AVG program installed on your computer and check if that fix the issue.

You can also send the sample https://www.avg.com/en-us/false-positive-file-form of the "Advanced System Care" to AVG for analysis.
