Bletchley Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I have come across a problem with the anti-virus software AVG (Version 8) and TOW: AVG flags up lcmmfu.cpl as a trojan when opening TOW. I understand that lcmmfu.cpl is the elicense for TOW, not a trojan, but when I first saw this I consigned lcmmfu.cpl to the virus vault. Although I recovered it from the vault once I had found out that it was a 'false positive' and have added lcmmfu.cpl to the AVG exclusions list I still cannot open TOW - do I need to relicense TOW to get it working again? Bletchley Since posting the above I have now got TOW working again - by deleting CPL from the list of extensions that AVG Resident Shield scans. A temporary workaround, but I guess it leaves me somewhat vulnerable to real threats that might have the .cpl extension. I posted this here instead of contacting support, as AVG is a popular anti-virus tool and many others may have the same problem sooner or later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bletchley Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 Apologies, I have just noticed that this is covered in the eLicense FAQ. Please disregard above post. Bletchley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 AVG is popular, yes (since it's free), but unfortunately it tends to flag "innocent" files quite a lot. I used to have AVG as well but then one day they flagged a popular javascript library as a virus and people started getting virus warnings when accessing all sorts of websites (including the AVG website )... I switched to CA Anti-Virus that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
