Zune and Avast
Ok, so as I use the zune software to listen to my music, I get reports that Avast Anti-Virus has detected a virus, and I loose one of the album arts.  How do I fix it?  Is there a better AV that I should be using?  I am using Windows 7 RC

It's probably just a false positive, meaning there is no real threat.  Just to be safe, try copy and pasting album artwork from a known legitimate source (such as Amazon.com) and see if it still sets off an alert with your AV.  That's unusual.

If this is a song / album obtained from a questionable source, I would delete it if you suspect it to be infected with a virus / malware.

Unfortunately, I don't have the time, or the energy to go through that.  All of the album art has been gotten through Zune, so it is a known legitimate souce.  How do I tell Avast that they are wrong about it?
