729470 2008-12-16 04:03:00 AVG and Avast! are both good IMO, every AV has false positives, no AV is perfect Blam (54)
729471 2008-12-16 04:26:00 No and yes. X2 - Its free but thats about all - I have seen so many times- PC's infected with Viruses, AVG said it was clean or found "something" but couldn't fix it - more or less saying OK you got an infection now you'll need a better AV to fix the problem. wainuitech (129)

729473 2008-12-16 09:53:00 I have Avast, and yesterday it reported several times ils.dll I didn't erase it because I thought it is false alarm. Btw, Avast is reporting at least 90% keygens as malware. fox2setubal (14413)

Probably coz they're illegal. And they do contain / install malware

Someone probably used them, on those work computers, and now they're infected
