I installed the Tor Browser Bundle about a week ago & it extracted fine,
worked great. Accidentally deleted it earlier today (& emptied my trash
before I realised Tor'd gone in there). Just went to download the Browser
Bundle (v 1.3.23) again & it again downloaded & extracted fine.
But when I went to start browsing, my AVG (v 10.0.1209) insisted that it
contained malware - rated 4/4 in threat severity. So I let AVG take care
of it, but it freaked me out a little. I'm hoping I just managed to muck
something up at my end, but I don't know how to tell.
I'm not a programmer & feel way undereducated on things like this. Is
anyone able to advise whether this was a genuine threat? Or if it's
probably not a real threat, why would AVG "detect" malware at this start-
up but none of the other times I started Tor?
I'd really appreciate any thoughts.
