Question Sheur2.QLA Virus Found in Pirates Online (Merged)

Ok, so I tried to launch POTCO just now, I have been playing the game for over a year, no issues with my AVG finding any thing it thought was harmful in it.... I launch, and AVG tells me it has found a threat called "Sheur2.QLA" while attempting to launch the game from the start menu.... I attempted to ignore the threat, because I felt it was a false positive... After that the game refused to load, well then I moved the file to the vault, but the Launcher.exe was never found, so then no load again.... I restored the file from the vault, then AVG freaked out the same as before..... Have any of you experienced this? My game refuses to load now even if I ignore the threat, so I uninstalled POTCO, but there is a small thought in the back of my mind that I might have gotten some sort of bizzare virus that has infected POTCO possibly to gain my access information some how. I may try reloading the game again this week, or just reformatting for the heck of it just to be safe. I never have heard of this before. Thanks for any info any one might have.

Starting Out:

1. Open AVG to the System Overview.
2. Go to "Tools > Advanced Settings".
3. Look for "PUP Exceptions" and Open It.
4. Click "Add Exception". When it brings up the little box asking for the file path, enter "C:\Program Files\Disney\Disney Online\PiratesOnline\Launcher1.exe".
5. Let it register where the file is located, then click ok and apply.
6. Now stay in the Advanced settings menu and go to "Resident Shield > Exceptions"
7. Click "Add Path" and navigate it to "C:\Program Files\Disney\Disney Online\PiratesOnline\"
8. Click apply, and attempt to open Pirates Online! It should open up from your Desktop. If the desktop button does not work, go to, Start > All Programs > Disney Pirates Of The Caribbean > Pirates Of The Caribbean Online.

So there you have it. That's how you Configure AVG to Work with Pirates Online.

Sorry it took so long, but those Disney Live Support People are bad...
