Here we go again with false positive antivirus actions bricking computers

[Cloq]

And whats the point of having an anti-virus that will act as a virus itself?

  maybe we need a new kind of software utility:
"AntiVirus Watchdog"

it's job is to watch over all anti-virus program activity and kill the antivirus if it gives a false alarm.

Actually.. I think AVG has a service called AVG Watchdog.. stupid thing seems to prevent license upgrade/renewal (from avg server console admin app) if license has expired or has something like less than 30 days before the expiration date. Go figure..
