AVG blocking Quicktime player?
I went into the Quicktime website (?) and tried to download the player and
AVG warned me not to. Anyone know anything about this? Can I ignore the warning and proceed? Robert

AVG blocking Quicktime player?
I once had Quicktime but removed it and I won't download it again. It bugs
you incessantly with spam, etc. Some websites require it to view some video, but I deem it better to live without those. I think AVG is correct. "Robert" wrote in message ...

False positives are not uncommone for AV software. If you're dowloading
from a trusted site, then evaluate the situation yourself. Personally I'd ignore the AVG warning. Robert wrote: I went into the Quicktime website (?) and tried to download the player and AVG warned me not to. Anyone know anything about this? Can I ignore the warning and proceed? Robert

Robert You say you were at the "Quicktime website (?)". Does the question mark imply you're not sure where you were? I'd say that if you are trying to download from the proper site, which seems to be http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/, then you should be fine. If you were trying to download from some other site, then pay heed to AVG. It may not be necessary, and AVG does throw up false positives, but better safe than sorry. If you're getting alerts from the Apple site, and your AVG is fully updated, then you really need to ask in an AVG forum, and at least let *them* know exactly what your AVG said in its warning.
