Comment:
I recently purchased a Kodak digital camera. The purchase included a CD with the Kodak Easy Share program. Several days back I installed the software but when I ran the program my anti-virus (AVG) gave me an alert that the program EasyShare.exe was infected with the virus Downloader.Swizzor. I immediately put the program into quarantine. Now I cannot run the software. AVG did not offer to repair the .exe file only to quarantine it. Is there any chance that AVG gave a false indication? Any suggestions of what I should do next? Thanks
