Maybe it's because Pd opens a network connection to the wish application
on the same machine and some antivirus programs think that's suspect,
since for all they know the other program could be doing something
nasty; they should really check that the other program is networking to
the outside world but that would be too much work.

Thanks for the answers, of course it is solved adding an exception to
AVG. Just wanted to know if there was a reason maybe related to the
executable.
I tried to add a FAQ entry, but I can´t find the "add FAQ" button. Of
course I tried being logged in.

Program Files\Pop up Blocker\pd.exe
Actually I do not suffer that problem myself anyway I imagine the original
sender will find the information useful.

Objet: Re: [PD] pd.exe as a virus
It will be a lame answer if you need to fix all the windows computers
that i fix, because people use windows. Call it what you want.
But linux just is safer. this is no a go away, but a open your eyes
warning i gave....
and yes, PD works better in linux where you believe it or not

you should try to move into linux, its safer and pd works better in it :D
Yes and that's the typical lame answer that puts off people from even

Hi, I´m recently being adviced that pd.exe is a virus, exactly with
AVG antivirus, do you know the reason for that?
As someone suggested it might be a false positive.. Try and look into
what message it gives and maybe contacting the AVG people or writing to
community.
All the best,
Lorenzo.
