Svend, I also have AVG (ver 8.5.421) with current virus files loaded. Seeing
your message I downloaded the file from Elecraft, then I had AVG do a
stand-alone scan of the file for any issues and it reported it clean, both
during the initial download and with the subsequent scan.
It must have been a "false positive" on your system for some reason.
FWIW, I have used AVG for a number of years and found it excellent. In my
work I download and exchange files with many "strange" sources (my clients)
and, while AVG occasionally quarantines an infected, it's never let a virus
or Trojan through.
Nor has it ever found anything wrong with a file from Elecraft.

I just downloaded the K3 utility 1.2.9.30 from
http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm#k3util.
Now AVG displays a warning: Accessed file is infected. Trojan horse
PSW.Banker5.ZOY
Anybody else notice this?
