Well instead of dumping AVG for Avira and after deciding not to upgrade to AVG 9 I instead took the FAQ advice here and excluded all MBAM files in my AVG 8.5.....Ran AVG and came out clean, then ran MBAM and also came out clean....so I'm happy thanks to all for the advice!

Is AVG 9 free?.....I don't think it is and I don't want to spend money. I contacted AVG and they said they don't recommend running both programs (AVG and Malwarebytes) on the same system. I will consider switching to Avira after I do some research......I don't need all this aggravation ( I use a Mac at work)....thanks for all the input.

What's going on here? I ran my AVG Free 8.5 which had detected a trojan horse and it healed it and said my PC was clean. I then ran my Free Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and it also said I was clean. I then ran Update for Malwarebytes and it downloaded updates and then I got a threat detection from AVG which says: File name: C:\ProgramDate\Malwarebytes\Malwarebyte'Anti-Malware\mbam-setup.exe Threat name: Trojan horse Dropper.Agent.PKF Detected on open. Process name: C:\ProgramDate\Malwarebytes\Malwarebyte'Anti-Malware\mbam.exe Process ID: 2312 What does this mean? Am I supposed to Ignore this? Is this what you call a False Positive? Please explain in simple terms what I'm supposed to do. I've got a PC running Vista. thanks
