Hi Tim, Thanks. You saved me considerable time. Last night, I sent the Tame file to VirusTotal, with interesting results. Many of the so-called major players had a problem with Tame, with some notable exceptions. McAfee, Symantec, AVG, Panda, and Comodo had various alerts, but F-Prot, FSecure, NOD32, and the rest had no problem.
Your navigation instructions for AVG were very good. Hi, Brian. Yes you are correct, as the VirusTotal result shows. False positives will always be a problem.
