This affects both free and Pro versions of both AVG 7.5 and AVG 8

Report have been of AVG reporting false positives regarding Adobe Flash player AVG offers free license and another false positive | Security and the Net This only a few days after it recommended users to delete the critical Windows operating file user32.dll, which if deleted will send the PC into an endless loop.
