10.5. PUP Exceptions
AVG 9 Anti-Virus plus Firewall
is able to analyze and detect executable applications
or DLL libraries that could be potentially unwanted within the system. In some cases
the user may wish to keep certain unwanted programs on the computer (
programs
that were installed on purpose
). Some programs, especially free ones, include adware.
Such adware might be detected and reported by AVG as a
potentially unwanted
program
. If you wish to keep such a program on your computer, you can define it as
a potentially unwanted program exception:
The
Potentially Unwanted Programs Exceptions
dialog displays a list of already
defined and currently valid exceptions from potentially unwanted programs. You can
edit the list, delete existing items, or add new exceptions. The following information
can be found in the list for every single exception:
·
File
- provides the name of the respective application
·
File Path
- shows the way to the application's location
·
Checksum
- displays the unique 'signature' of the chosen file. This checksum
is an automatically generated string of characters, which allows AVG to
unequivocally distinguish the chosen file from other files. The checksum is
generated and displayed after successful addition of the file.
