Let Down by Grisoft
I'm pretty vocal about being a huge Grisoft supporter. AVG is about the only AV software I trust... (I'm also a huge Trend Micro fan but I can't justify the cost). Anyways... I haven't launched Olly Debug in a week or two and I just went to load up some software in it. Imagine my surprise when I clicked on my Ollydbg Shortcut and I get a pop-up that says "The file this shortcut refers to is not present on your system, would you like to delete the shortcut". WHAT?!? I quickly browse to the folder and sure enough ollydbg.exe is gone. Confused, I open AVG and check the virus vault. Sure enough, there it was... I was able to restore it and all is good now but this is the first time that AVG has let me down and disappointed me. A false positive on ollydbg... next they'll be shipping false positives on Excel or Windows XP... I might even go out and invest in Trend Micro.
Screenshot from the Virus Vault:
That’s not a false positive… it’s clear that Ollydbg is a “tool” only ever used by malicious, evil hax0rs.
No legitimate user would ever need a product like Ollydbg – if you’re not doing anything wrong, why would you need that kind of tool?
I’m guessing there’s never a legitimate purpose for any security related product… Actually notepad and the command prompt are pretty evil, we should remove them.. and Linux, well… let’s just ban it… it’s the safest thing for everyone
