- Disabling AVG protection (via the right-click context menu when right-clicking the system tray icon)
- Creating a "New Text Document.TXT" file on the Desktop
- And then enabling AVG protection seems to have fixed it
Here's an image to go along with my original report that I didn't think to include at the time: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h133/franpa/Untitled_zpsqprsrvhu.png~original
I performed the EICAR_TEST by putting the relevant data in a blank "New Text Document.txt" file on my desktop. After performing the test I am no longer able to create new/blank TXT files on my desktop via the right-click context menu.
How do I resolve this issue? Why is AVG now blocking files with the name "New Text Document.txt" and not checking if the file contains the EICAR_TEST test code?
