"AVG says Melodyne is a threat"

 
To singers only!

To good singers only! :)

AVG has increasingly gotten more intrusive and flaky as it's gone along. I'm in the process of getting it off all of my machines and putting in something better. I'm hearing good reports about Avira these days.

Personally, I use Avast.  It's effective and thankfully unobtrusive.  I ditched AVG a while ago as the amount of false positives I got with it drove me up the wall.  Plus it seemed a bit of a resource hog.

I've had this problem with Kaspersky Internet Security, not with Melodyne but with Mountain Directory (highway grade warning software).  However, in KIS you can go into the settings and tell it to ignore a folder or a file.  KIS has saved me any number of times from various threats, but when it goes bonkers it quarantines the file, and if it can't quarantine it, it will delete it.
