>Hmmm, this is concerning me a bit about AVG and the vendor, Grisoft. I now get message not found as well. A couple of hours ago I found it by googling "bhvl virus". There were complaints in that thread on Grisoft's forum by one poster who said his posts were being deleted, so it appears there may be a systematic cleansing of the thread. Maybe they consider it a virus? ;-) I shouldn't actually be joking about that. What it looks like is AVG was incorrectly deleting or quarantining VFP executables (a "false positive", their moderator called it), has fixed their program, and is now trying to destroy the evidence. Not good.

>UPDATE: I should mention that the posts on Grisoft's forum were dated today, March 8. (OK, OK, 8 March <g>). Early this morning was the first time AVG has flagged VFP executables on my machine as infected by viruses. For some reason most of them were quarantined (put in the vault, in AVG's vernacular) and one was deleted.

One of my clients suffered the same problem yesterday. My VFP6 SP3 vertical market app executable was deleted by AVG on a Windoze XP system. Fortunately, none of the data was touched, just the exe. I burned an hour with the guy on a problem that had nothing to do with my code. He eventually got it running on another computer.
