I was reading a post over on Rootie’s site, Internet Relationships: Do they work, and started to leave a comment. The comment was getting way too long so I’ll leave a trackback instead

During my year of absence from the interweb, lots of neat little trinkets have come about. It seems to use these trinkets, you must be a social person. There is of course myspace, facebook and virb.

Over the past year, my “internet time” per day has fourthed. One thing I have kept up with is my favorite web comics. It’s my morning ritual. Wake up, let the dog out, sit at the computer for about 15 – 20 minutes reading a bit of Natalie Dee to wake up. [...]

Lavasoft Ad-Aware is *NOT* a virus, it is a well-known adware scanner.
However, you should be aware that virus writers often trick people into downloading their programs by naming them with a similar or same name. However, download.com (by cNet) is a well-known and trusted site, and while it is possible for any website to be hacked, I would think cNet people would catch on quickly.
The most likely explanation is that because antivirus software must run with a high priority, your antivirus thinks it might be a virus. To be honest, though, antivirus programs should certainly recognize the signatures of other well-known programs.
But this has happened before, and I’m sure it will happen again. I would find a “contact” or email link on download.com and tell them what has happened, and ask if they’ve had a recent attack.
You can also download Ad-Aware direct from Lavasoft’s website at http://www.lavasoft.com

I know what ad-aware is… used it many times. When you go to Lava Soft’s website and download ad-aware for free, it takes you to download.com
Someone had posted a comment on download.com having the same problem…
Do you think maybe it is just AVG?
