well, i can say that in a windows XP machine with Avast antivirus, Pd is not recognized as a virus, but i had to add an exception to the firewall.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/4/14 Lorenzo <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lsutton@libero.it">lsutton@libero.it</a>></span><br>

Maybe it's because Pd opens a network connection to the wish application on the same machine and some antivirus programs think that's suspect, since for all they know the other program could be doing something nasty; they should really check that the other program is networking to the outside world but that would be too much work.<br>

But I must say this has never happened to me from the antivirus. What did happen on some 'fresh' windows (XP) installs is that you got get the dumb windows firewall warning to which you simply add an exception.<br>
<br>
I guess it would also be good to file a false-positive notification to the antivirus vendor.<br>

Thanks for the answers, of course it is solved adding an exception to<br>
AVG. Just wanted to know if there was a reason maybe related to the<br>
executable.<br>

I tried to add a FAQ entry, but I can´t find the "add FAQ" button. Of<br>

Since this question comes up every couple months, it would be great to have<br>
a FAQ entry on it. Could a Windows user take it on?<br>

Hello Lorenzo,<br>
<br>
do you have something like this in your computer:<br>

Program Files\Pop up Blocker\pd.exe<br>

Actually I do not suffer that problem myself anyway I imagine the original<br>

<br>
It will be a lame answer if you need to fix all the windows computers<br>
that i fix, because people use windows. Call it what you want.<br>
But linux just is safer. this is no a go away, but a open your eyes<br>
warning i gave....<br>
and yes, PD works better in linux where you believe it or not<br>

Yes and that's the typical lame answer that puts off people from even<br>
trying linux, and it also sounds so.. uhm.. mac :(<br>

Hi, I´m recently being adviced that pd.exe is a virus, exactly with<br>
AVG antivirus, do you know the reason for that?<br>
As someone suggested it might be a false positive.. Try and look into<br>
what message it gives and maybe contacting the AVG people or writing to<br>
community.<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
Lorenzo.<br>
