'Threat Warning' from AVG Resident Shield

I'm getting, for the first time, 'warnings' from AVG Resident Shield (see attached screenshot).

AVG Anti-Virus (Free version) and Panda anti-virus seem happy so I assume it's AVG Resident Shield being useless.

Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone have any advice for getting rid of these annoying warnings?

I see lots of false positives from various AV suites at game exe files. SES' Jutland front-end loader is one of the worst for that.

Technically you should report a false positive to the anti-virus company and they should white-list the file (write an exception). In practical terms, since you know its not a virus, its easiest to ignore it!
