[vlc] AVG detects malware (backdoor)

[Thomas Joseph]

AVG is one of the most scummy AV in the world close to Norton
and their close McAfee.

They all try to own your system. AVG was OK in 2002, they had 
a light weight prog that could capture the culprit.

Now a days, I with avira, another light weight.

Try avira and post your findings, pls.
