Why did you quote me then?

That post made me think of the joke.

Okay, so I tried this and it is attacking No$GBA thinking it's a virus. Which necessarily isn't bad. It could be that it's a sucking AV, or just powerful. However in an effort to stop this annoyance I am going back to AVG.

False positives aren't unusual for any AV (I had Kaspersky tagging JDK for the longest time when I used it), but I'm surprised it tagged No$, since it's pretty self-contained and doesn't change any OS files.

Then it would detect the ROMs as viruses not the emulator.

It's Microsoft, so not necessarily. They'd target QuickTime as a virus if they could. I doubt that was the purpose, though.

I'm guessing no$gba was targeted because it reads what keys are pressed etc
