After updating AVG anti virus today, it detected my zone alarm firewall as a Trojan Horse virus?
hybridd23 asked:
Detects multiple threats of the same virus Trojan Horse Agent_r.CX. My zone alarm is the version 7.1.254 and transferred directly from their Web site. Is this a new interference? And how could fix it?

It aint really a good idea to run more than one malware detection program at the same time with another for starts. You can easily create more trouble than you bargained for.

Actually AVG detects sometime other firewall or antispyware or antivirus as a virus because this is nature of AVG..
so, dont be confused and ignore that virus it wont harm ur pc.

Sounds like a false positive to me. Report it to AVG they will fix it.

Whatever you do do not activate the file a trojan horse is a specific type of virus carrying program often a cookie. it usualy sends viruses to your computer using an internet download link like a flash game if you activate the link the virus will have a succesful download this will cause many flash and email problems preventing you from downloding entertainment media like flash games and videos
just try to delete the file withought activating it. also get another firewall it is nice to have two in case of software error i recommend norman

Don’t worry about it dude. It’s a problem with the latest AVG update reporting a false positive. Everyone who has both AVG & Zone Alarm installed on their PCs are getting these issues. Just google it and you’ll see what I mean. For now, just ignore it until AVG releases an update.
Go here to the AVG forums to see what others are saying:
Until then, tell AVG to ignore those files by doing this:
Double-Click “Resident shield” in the main AVG window and click “Manage exceptions” and click “Add Path” and add C:\WINDOWS\system32\ZoneLabs to it. Then click “ok” and then “Save changes”. This way, it will ignore those files until AVG can put out a correct update.
