No kidding.  I had a Zimbra install that would croak on certain files.  Took 
days of investigation to learn that AVG 8 eats any file that has an extension 
of *.msg and happens to match the heuristics for some trojan or another.  I 
can't remember the last time AVG actually accomplished anything -- it fails 
for me in prevention and cleanup -- so I ought to uninstall it on all boxes.
