    Default Super (audio app) virus or false hit?

    Hi all,
    Just wondering if my AVG has found a virus or a false positive?

    I wanted to convert a wav to mp3 file, and started up Super. When I started the conversion, AVG stopped the conversion in its tracks, saying that ffmpeg.exe in my Documents and Settings\name\Local Settings\Temp\codecs folder was a virus, and that it was a Win32/Heur type.

    Not that it matters, I used Audacity to do the job in the end, as I needed to cut & paste a few bits too.

    Use this website to scan the suspect file ffmpeg.exe and see what sort of response you get. Most likely a false positive by AVG.


    If it is a false positive I would get rid of AVG and install something else like Microsoft security essentials.
