I would believe that AVG would exclude any Windows system environment tmp / temp folder that you or Windows has set. But if in fear include in the exception screen in AVG. My fear would be the possible hole left open for other hacks/attacks. I belong to a different Virus Software Utility users group so I cannot offer much help on AVG. It might be a better question for the AVG user group on how AVG handles the Windows System Environment Settings. Mostly you would check on .$$$ and see how they are handled instead of just adding the Dir/Folder.
I would also go back and check the information regarding mapping RBase files. I think you will find best not to map and simply use the address. I have 10+ active users on a Linux Server and they all access the rb* files by address and run local exe's.

This app has them set to C:\Temp would Scratch TMP be better? Also, should you include the Mapped drive letter?

But most virus programs allow you to "exclude" files by creating a list with wildcards. If all your R:BASE databases are on one particular drive, and there are no other files on that drive that could contain viruses on that drive, I suppose you could exclude a drive letter.

Both are using AVG 8 and I read that they had a problem flagging some Windows files as malware. Could that be causing the problem? I know I need to update them to 8.0 but I am trying to get all my users on the same page then make the jump early spring. Thanks Marc _____ No virus found in this incoming message.
