Very annoying because it doesn't let me use the program even if I tell it to ignore.

Virus Name: Trojan horse PSW.Agent.HCE

Object Path: C:\Program Files\HJTHotKey.exe

Source: Back Up Copy

Status: Infected

Yeah, I had the same issue yesterday. I just uninstalled HJT Hotkey since I don't particularly like to use hot keys anyway - I can never remember which is which for all the software I have that uses hot keys.

I think the problem is with one of the last definition updates, maybe one from late Friday or yesterday morning. With that definition update, I think AVG is seeing the software as a keylogger, which in a sense it is, although a legitimate one. Report it to AVG support, and I'm sure they can fix the problem in another definition update.

I've seen this kind of thing before. A month or so ago, one of my anti-malware (not AVG) updates started identifying cmd.exe as malware, and wouldn't permit it to run when it was called by other software. That too was quickly fixed by another update. It happens.

No more problems as of yesterday. AVG must have done something.
