Hello, Although nomenclature varies from vendor-to-vendor, the use of the string "Agent" in the name of the reported threat indicates this could be a machine-developed signature, as opposed to one created by a human virus analyst. As such, I'd be inclined to go with the diagnosis of a false positive alarm, however, it is always a good idea to get a second opinion. In this case, I would recommend contacting AVG's technical support and try to confirm the issue.

I downloaded the 'Thinkpad Rescue and Recovery' installer (tvtvrnr43_1027fi.exe) from Lenovo's download site and began installing it. AVG detected the following as a threat: File: C:\preboot\utils\rnrdbgtool.exe Threat: Trojan horse Agent_r.BKV Since I know this package came direct from Lenovo and since R&R is likely doing things that LOOK like a trojan, I have to believe AVG is throwing a false positive here. But before I proceed I wanted to ask anyone else if they have encountered this before? Thanks, Rob
