Avast keeps bitching at me about something called “General Crawler”, but if I select to go ahead and remove it, it refuses because when I install Avast, I always decline the browser addon dreck-ware they try to foist on you. Which in turn makes me wonder if General Crawler is a legitimate issue or just something they made up to browbeat you into taking their crapware. Anyone know?

Just curious do you have a Dell with W/8? I get Win32:Drop-gen warnings several times a day. No info on it last time I looked. Some freeware antivirus seems to give false hits. It also keeps hitting on my Deer Avenger game program.
