| 601481 | 2007-10-15 05:42:00 | Nope. This is a garden variety rar file a friend sent me, called Art Master.What is "Art Master"? | Jen (38) | ||
| 601482 | 2007-10-15 05:48:00 | From what I can find on the web, it is a standalone art program, quite unlike any of the known graphic progs such as photoshop. Recently the company that produced ArtMaster went bust, taking with it what appears to be one of the best art programs in the world :( Very sad. |

It appears to still be available and it is certainly not a free program. Your rar of this program will be illegal. ArtMaster and ArtMasterPro (www.fo2pix.com) website. As you know, PF1 does not support or give help with pirated software ... |

| 601484 | 2007-10-15 07:07:00 | I understand what you're saying Jen. The program and its possible trojan have long disappeared into cyberspace. My original question was about AVG generating a relatively unusual number of false positives. Since this thread started I've found a lot of Google info that confirms this. My AVG is also destined for the bin. :badpc: |

| 601485 | 2007-10-15 07:14:00 | Just get Avast and give it a full scan and after that, you should be fine. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 601486 | 2007-10-15 07:33:00 | Thanks beeswax34. This particular prog has been erased so I can't scan it. And I don't think I'll bother with AVG again. There'll be other good freebie backup scanners around to replace it. | braindead (1685) | ||
| 601487 | 2007-10-15 11:27:00 | give VirusTotal (http://www.virustotal.com/) a go if you only want to check one file this online single file scanner can run your file through 32 different antivirus engines |

| 601489 | 2007-10-15 17:22:00 | Yeah, I have noticed a few issues with AVG in the past, hence I avoid it. As for a replacement AV, try AntiVir. Its free, and in a recent APC trial, outperformed a lot of paid for AV's (in fact the only one it didn't beat was Kaspersky) |
