BETA VERSION MEANS IT IS STILL IN "BUILDING STAGE"..........HE HAS A LONG WAY TO BECOME A VIRUS............AS HE PASSES THE WAY AND REACH TO "FINAL STAGE" THEN IT WILL ALSO BE ACCEPTED AS A VIRUS........SO BEING IN BETA(BUILDING STAGE ) IT HAS BEEN REJECTED..

WAS IN A FUN MOOD.............JUST CAME HOME AFTER HAVING SOME GOOD TIME WITH FRIENDS.....

I am a Avast user from past 2 years.
No wonder, Avast has a habit of detecting Innocent Programs as Malware.

Most avast users are aware of this problem

Yeah, Its better using a Freeware like Avast than using Pirated copy.
Whenever possible i use original softwares
But now have i shifted to Nortan 360, which symantec Gifted me as regards to my contributions in its BETA testing program.

Still i barely use it, as most of time i am on Ubuntu Linux which does need any Anti-virus

Well it just identified the "front door" as the "back door".

This is the main problem with all these Free AntiVirus softwares. AVG toh Avast ka bhi baap hai.....
