I hope this is a false alarm :

"C:\engines\Thinker53B.zip:\SP-Inert-Thinker_32-bit.exe";"Trojan horse Crypt.AMR";"Infected"

Reported by AVG antivirus 8.0.175 after dowloading the file from the link above.

Hi,
Let me tell you something about AVG 8.0....I had it installed in my comp for about 6-7 months this year and I was more than happy to delete it last week....The stupid program givesa lot of false alarms and send the files to it's stupid virus directory....for example I found that it deleted Fritz 8 Bilbao,Shredder 5.32 from the ChessBase engines directory :shock:
I switched back to NOD....
Even switching to Avast free Home Edition is a better idea :!:

Avast is a good idea, Avast I have is working Ok. Zone alarm also gives a lot of false alarms. AVG does not seem to be in Top 10 league anymore.

Bit Defender currently ranks best.
