When I switched on my pc today AVG found a new Trojan in the R-Factor add on
featuring VW Lupos....

I've since heard from 6 other people that have found the same thing...

What program is AVG?  Who makes it?  I haven't had any problems, and AV
programs have been known to make bogus claims about viruses being present.

AVG is developed by Grisoft.  The popularity of AVG is primarily because it's
free :)  

Ive used it for quite some time and as far as I tell it works better than
most commercial products [especially symantec which actually opens holes].

I think most here know my policy on AV program, so I won't repeat it here.
I doubt seriously that Lupo contains a virus.  I haven't heard anything over
at RSC.  It's probably a false alarm, something virus programs are quite
found of triggering.

I use AVG too but I have had it find a false positive before. But then so
have other AV progs I have tried. If I was to pay for one though I like
F-Secure.
