looks good to me Coknuck , AVG just gives the warning b4 you download ,
I tried Advast once it didn't seem as smooth as AVG , but I have kept the link to advast , just in case AVG starts charging ,
BTW you can download the eicar zip file , and play around with it , AVG will find it , and delete it .if you do a right clike scan with AVG, 
lol I did all this with eicar back on win. Me. , and I still carry the eicar string on my memory pen , along with all the free AV's nd ccleaner etc. . as a test? clean up,  for other folk ,

end of the day do a full manuel scan , and clear the AV log when your done ,
 the eicar test string isn't going to multiply or open backdoors  ,it's just a test string ,
 so it is ok to delete any traces that you find after playing with it ,

any one wan't a link to a site that is full on nasties , ( it's a craxz  site ) 
that will truly test your AV,  second thoughts not a good idea  evil6

For anyone who wants to have a secondary scanner, Kaspersky has one that you can use for virus removal/detection.  It has no real-time protection, so it can be installed on machines with other antivirus software.

I run Avast for real-time, and have the Kaspersky for extra scanning or incase my Avast becomes compromised.

I've found Kaspersky finds stuff that other antivirus products sometimes miss.

It's free...
