AVG keeps deleting IObit driver updater

This same thing is happening to me.  AVG is blocking PubMonitor.exe, which I expect is there to tell me about new and upgraded versions of iOrbit Driver Updater, saying it's infected by FileRepMalware.  I scanned the IOrbit folder for viruses and it comes up clean.  Still, I'm getting pop-up messages.  Furthermore, I have another computer with the exact same operating system (Windows 10), the same security (AVG Ultimate) and the same iOrbit program (Driver Updater) and get NO pop-up warning whatsover.  My initial feeling is that it's a false positive, but I don't know.  If this is a false positive, I can add Driver Update to the exception list, but  need to know if I have malware in my system.  Many thanks.

Hello Jerry,
We will check this for you. Please share the screenshot http://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=How-to-create-a-screenshot of that detection message and let us know the version of AVG you have installed.
Have you tried to add that program in AVG Exception list and checked its status?

Open AVG Internet Security -> Menu -> About -> check its version and go to Menu -> Settings -> General -> Exception -> add that file to exception list.
