Sbr Poker is a virus?

**stevek173** · 08-14-12, 08:00 PM

I use AVG, same thing on 2 laptops.

**stevek173** · 08-14-12, 08:09 PM

This 3rd one has Norton and it's good to go sensei do you use avg? Seems like an avg/sbr poker glitch man

**ttwarrior1** · 08-14-12, 08:35 PM

**MexicanStallion** · 08-14-12, 08:55 PM

I deleted it and tried to re-download poker, but it won't install now.

**stuler** · 08-14-12, 09:52 PM

Same deal here AVG cannot download poker or open it WTF OVER!

**sbr_poker** · 08-15-12, 07:22 AM

Looks like AVG has updated their virus signatures and sbr.exe has one of the new signatures. Re-installing it doesn't help. We're trying to find a solution. We may have to do a new release to get rid of the signature.

Meanwhile, to run poker, you have to add it as an exception in AVG:

Open the AVG user interface

Click Tools->Advance Settings

Click Resident Shield

Click the + on "Resident Shield" to drop down more options.

Click Exceptions

Click the Add Path button

Browse to "C:Program Files (x86)SBR Poker"

Click OK

thx problem solve

**peppermillrick** · 08-15-12, 09:01 AM

I got avg, got the virus message and reinstalled the sbr poker and now it does not work. Ouch!

I used the above problem solve and its fixed now, thanks!

**hhsilver** · 08-15-12, 09:16 AM

I'm using AVG 2011 . It's a bit different than what you show below. Where you see "exceptions" , I see "excluded items". I assume that's the same thing.

BUT , when I click "Add Path" I can't find "Program Files (x86)SBR Poker". What I do find under Program Files is the folder "SBR Poker" but nothing with the x86. Is this folder, SBR Poker ( with no mention of x86 ) what I should put in "excluded items"?

click computer---> local c ---> program files(x86)

I just noticed --- X86 is with "program files" , not part of the SBR poker name. I was thinking it was part of the sbr poker file name.

I'm using windows vista -- when i look at "program files" , where I find sbr poker, I see no "x86" ..... And while I was looking there I got the AVG threat warning again. I didn't notice last time, but that warning does not mention "x86" -- only SBR Poker. So I assume that's what I should be excluding.

I wonder why I don't have the x86? Is vista the difference?

On Windows XP or Vista (32 bit), it will be: C:\Program Files\SBR Poker

The one shown is on Windows 7 (64 bit).

Great --- just did it --- it worked.

Thanks for your help!
and also thanks to senseionline.

Best solution would be to uninstall AVG and install Microsoft Security Essentials instead. It's infinitely better than AVG, both for protection and for lack of annoyance.

Just trying to help you guys out.

No, just use the best product. MSE is the best antivirus, free or otherwise. For macs, couldn't say, but for windows it's the best. The apple fanboys at lifehacker agree with me, if that counts for anything.

**stevek173** · 08-15-12, 04:42 PM

I think what's clear here is that I solved the actual problem and you guys can go off on any tangents you want that's the heart of the matter regarding the problem/solution.

You're welcome.

**CrazyCarl** · 08-15-12, 05:27 PM

Just posted it here for someone else who comes along.

Your solution, solved my problem. My workaround last night was to play SBR poker
with AVG turned off. I like your solution alot better than mine.

Mentioned this last night. Thanks for the tutorial.

Must be a new update that thinks SBR Poker is a threat.

Oh damn. They must be right.

Any of the free antivirus are good.

It's just user preference.

AVG has done a great job for me, and I actually like getting alerts once in awhile, that lets me know it is doing it's job.

No, because they said it doesn't mean it's true. But it is true. Lots of tests through virus databases as well, MSE by far beats AVG.

By all means, stick with the inferior one if you like it. I was trying to help.

Agreed MSE is the superior product. I still use Avast however..which is also easily better than AVG.

Thanks for the suggestion Carl. Never hurts to put out another choice. We can always try it on our own and if we like it then something has improved in our lives.

Avast is the only other one I actually like, but prefer MSE for the low annoyance. Anyhow, sorry to start an antivirus argument. Worth a short for anyone else having problems with their antivirus blocking shit like the other people in this thread, or even for annoying updates etc.
