from the "run" command off of the AVG download inside my account
Windows 10 shut down the exe. file before it installed on my laptop.
Is the file infected or not. If not how do I install it?
Who can prove whether or not it is infected?
This was more to inform you that ESET is doing this and probably many of their customers are not looking at your program due to the warnings. I'm busy, might be better if you try to see why they are blacklisting AVG in the first place. Also, after years of running ESET, this is the only false positive I have had. I have used AVG Driver Updated before, works great. This is just asking why the program is getting flagged by virus scanners
Misty, this is a legitimate file to download AVG Driver Updater. The message you received is a false postive.
We request you to disable ESET Virus Protection and continue with the installation. Else, we request you to contact them directly to whitelist the application from their end. This will help you to install Driver Updater with no issues.
Thank you.
Misty, we realize your query. However, if you inquire ESET regarding this, they will be able to provide an explanation on why "AVG Driver Updater" file is flagged as a threat.
