config.js upsets AVG


Recommended Posts

I was merrily updating my config.js today only to find AVG becoming upset with it and refusing to let me write it to disk, complaining that it had been infected by KillAV.

It was quite happy with exactly the same words in a .txt file (which obviously is not much use for WPI!).

A little chopping and hacking later and it turns out that it was objecting to a line that read (more or less) as:

cmd2[pn]=['taskkill /F /IM zlclient.exe']

I'd added this in to kill off a screen that Zone Alarm pops up during it's (otherwise) silent install.

The workaround was simple enough (construct the offending text so that AVG doesn't see it).

Obviously this is not an issue with WPI, but I thought a heads-up might save someone somewhere some head-scratching!

The descriptions of KillAV I found suggest that AVG will probably be objecting to other variants of the text; I just happened to stumble on the ZoneAlarm one!
