| Re: False Positive with AVG Free? I checked my AVG log and found what was reported to be a virus (don't remember exactly which as I'm at work at the moment) logged over the weekend.
Today, I ran a full scan and nothing was found. I checked the AVG forums (»forum.grisoft.cz/freeforum/list.php?4) and found several false positives in the last couple of days.
Glitch on a weekend update? Maybe??? | |

Kill the file mchInjDrv.sys and remove mchInjDrv.sys from Windows startup.

I guess it depends on what you have installed, or may have installed recently.
You could try uploading to Jotti or Virustotal for more checks.
