Can't gauge if this comment is sarcastic or not..

I share the sentiment. Some time ago I was investigating some nasties that were spreading via web (Firefox plugins exploits) and I had to switch off the antivirus just to be able to view the content of the text file.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I meant. No sarcasm. I have 50+ PCs with AVG Network Edition. So I was glad to see that AVG had already put this exploit on the block list.
