Subject: Re: [Thinkpad] Trojan threat detected when installing Rescue 
&Recovery

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.

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky
