    Ok, in my link of game dumps I've uploaded "gba backup tool" for use.

    However avg won't let me pull the whole file out :(

    From much research and a topic here, it's a false positive, but pressing "ignore" on avg does nothing...


    Here is what happens, basically avg scans a certain part of the app as a vbs agent, thus won't let me transfer the "infected" file to my sd card.


    And knowing my luck it won't let me send the zip file to my card to work there :(


    How do I get avg just to ignore this one file so i can have it in?


    (it's for sav back ups...this might also help other's if they choose to download this)

    Shutdown AVG for the time it takes you to move the file, then turn it back on.

    Maybe you right click on the icon in the system tray(next to the clock LOL) and press exit/shutdown.You should get a warning that you have shut it down/have no AV running.

    Doesn't work on avg...

    Right clicking shows options and update options.

    I checked mine yesterday, and there was no Exit avialable.
    I could have sworn there used to be, I think AVG 9 removed this feature, cause I had 8.5 before and used to shutdown my antivirus on command.

    Seems like you may have to force it to end, in task manager (ctrl-alt-del)
