recently downloaded the trial version of photoshop cs3 and i loved it. only thing is that when i had about 15 days left AVG anti spyware found it was trying to download viruses. is this true because i loved cs3 and i had to uninstall it to work. i would like to download again but it scares me it will harm my computer.

thanks! AgeNt_

What specific virus was it downloading? Every known virus has a name.

AVG anti spyware found it was trying to download viruses

Why would a spyware program report on viruses?

Again…it’s a spyware program, not an anti-virus program. AVG makes excellent products (I use their antivirus myself) but false positives in spyware programs aren’t exactly unheard of.

You did get this trial download from Adobe, correct? If from any other source, it is possible that hackers have added trojans or other virus code into it.
