Comment:

 The Tor Browser Bundle does not contain malware, but we need more
 information to determine whether this was a âfalse positiveâ or whether
 AVG is trying to scare users away from it intentionally.

 What specific piece of malware did AVG claim to have found?

 Did AVG's âsecurity toolbarâ appear in your Tor Browser Bundle after the
 first time you started it?

 Can you reproduce this by extracting another copy of the same version of
 Tor Browser Bundle and running it?
