One of the file copy/move replacements that I use all of the time is an excellent program called TeraCopy.

I also monitor their site for updates and just read this and had to roll my eyes. If ever there was proof that one AntiVirus program is struggling with their testing it is AVG.

Few days ago AVG reported the Klone.P virus in TeraCopy and Direct Folders. It was quickly fixed with next AVG update, but now it detects Klone.Z virus in same files. Personally I wouldn’t trust antivirus that can’t make decision about virus name.

Of course my favorite is the first graph on the NOD32 Comparison page HERE. Note the caption on the AVG Graph.

Real friends don't let their mates run AVG. ;)
