How do you know when it is a false positive, ? Lois ----- Original Message ----- From: Christopher Hallsworth To: blind-computing @jaws-users.com Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2007 12:16 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Question about AVG
David, this is probably a false positive, meaning AVG thinks that the file is infected when in fact it isn't. False negatives can happen too, and these are more dangerous, as this would mean that AVG couldn't pick up a file that has been infected! Hope that helps. False positives you can just ignore.
