AVG rocks, don't you ever forget that. You want to know something? I downloaded and had nortin on this pc, and when nortin found none, AVG found some. I tried almost every virus scanning program before buying AVG. I hate mcafee. I will never use it. I feel sorry for anyone who does. SOrry for getting off topic here, I just love AVG and hate seeing it get put down like that. As far as games go, I've never had issues with this program detecting them as viruses. I wouldn't be surprised to find that nortin and mcafee, system hoggers that they are, find some, because they're idiotic and, imho anyway, annoying to begin with.
