Hello Lorenzo,
do you have something like this in your computer:
Program Files\Pop up Blocker\pd.exe
?

It will be a lame answer if you need to fix all the windows computers that i fix, because people use windows. Call it what you want. But linux just is safer. this is no a go away, but a open your eyes warning i gave.... and yes, PD works better in linux where you believe it or not

Since this question comes up every couple months, it would be great to
have a FAQ entry on it. Could a Windows user take it on?

Thanks for the answers, of course it is solved adding an exception to AVG. Just wanted to know if there was a reason maybe related to the executable.
I tried to add a FAQ entry, but I can´t find the "add FAQ" button. Of course I tried being logged in.

Maybe it's because Pd opens a network connection to the wish application on the same machine and some antivirus programs think that's suspect, since for all they know the other program could be doing something nasty; they should really check that the other program is networking to the outside world but that would be too much work.

But I must say this has never happened to me from the antivirus. What did happen on some 'fresh' windows (XP) installs is that you got get the dumb windows firewall warning to which you simply add an exception.
I guess it would also be good to file a false-positive notification to the antivirus vendor.

well, i can say that in a windows XP machine with Avast antivirus, Pd is not recognized as a virus, but i had to add an exception to the firewall.
