    AVG False Positive on PVSW.exe

    Hi All,

    I have discovered that the Pervasive utility (PVSW.exe) that we use to move the Workgroup Engine over to being a service, is reported as a trojan horse virus by AVG version 8.

    This was reported to AVG on Friday afternoon. They responded this morning with an advice that the sample file had been tested and cleared. A turnaround time of about 18 hours for an unsolicited report of a problem! The body of their response is posted below.

    The file has been analyzed by our virus specialists. It does not
    contain any malicious code, therefore its detection will be amended
    within the next Virus Base update of AVG.
