no quarter

To all users of AVG free (something I've been recommending for a few years now) who also develop using Visual C++, I've been seeing that AVG has been deciding that several tools in the Visual C++ suite are suddenly being defined as viruses, and being quarantined.
It has also been 'finding' that all TI DSP C tools are suddenly infected as well.
(They're not, BTW)

I'm losing the tools I need to do my job because the virus scanner is too sensitive!

Thankfully, I just quarantine, and not delete them, so I'm able to recover them, but this is annoying...

Just a helpful post to those that use these same tools, if you suddenly get an error saying
"Error spawning 'rc'exe", and you think, I've never seen that before...
