Hey Stinky, welcome to the forums :)

SmiteWorks submits their updates to the major AV engines, but it takes time for things to get reviewed etc. You can go into AVG and whitelist FG and the installation directory. That should remove it from the alert and prevent it from being tagged in the future.

In fact, AVG just got back to me for that one, saying that it was cleared. It's renamed on Steam from FGUpdaterEngine.exe to UpdaterEngine.exe. I wonder if that's enough to trigger their filters. Is there a quick submit button?

Thanks,

Thanks for replying that this is just a false positive.
