A few antivirus systems are paranoid. The only thing we can do is keep on reporting false positives, and hope for a rational outcome.

I am concerned about who owns these systems, given their privileged access to our PCs over the internet.

Charles i agree with you about that.
Problem is with this two that first is attacked kingsoft antivirus then every exe which i have started.
then i download Emsisoft AV, and after few scanning and cleaning worm % trojan are deleted.
First exe which is a Linres2Exe...because of this I was post this topic in first place.

I can't see how any of these anti-virus companies still stay in business when Microsoft Security Essentials is now offered for free. Who knows Windows better than Microsoft?

maybe because of tests...
from:
http://www.techradar.com/news/software/applications/best-free-antivirus-9-reviewed-and-rated-1057786

Why isn't Microsoft Security Essentials in the list? It's small, simple, and won't slow
your system down - but it's also just not reliable enough to justify inclusion in our best free antivirus software round-up.

When Security Essentials was last included in an AV Comparatives File Detection test, the program managed a file detection rate of 94.9%, placing it 13th out of 15. AV-Test's opinion was even lower. In its analysis of 2012 products for Home Users, Microsoft Security Essentials delivered the lowest "average protection score" of all, putting it bottom in a list of 20.

by the way ..this Emsisoft Emergency Kit is very powerfull AV scanner.
I have nerver use it before but now seems to me like good choice for second AV tool.
bad thing only is , free version don't have real-time protection :-\
I will try use AVG again ::)
