A few months back I dumped McAfee anti virus from my machine and went with AVG.  Everything went pretty smooth except for one glitch.  A while after installing AVG they updated their virus definitions file and the new parameters suddenly thought the WLFriend.exe file was infected with a virus.  So it thoughtfully deleted the program from my machine without so much as a by-your-leave!  Subsequent attempts to reinstall the program have been thwarted by AVG which still insists it contains a virus.  I have used this thing for several years and am convinced it doesn't have a virus and have finally figured out a way to beat the beast so to speak.

Today I disabled AVG and got WLFriend reinstalled.  Then I found where I could put an exception into AVG so it would leave it alone in the future.  It seems to run ok except for one glitch.  Whenever I shut it down and then restart it I have to right click on the WLFriend window and point it to the path where the friend.ini file is located.  I seem to remember that this only had to be done once in my first installation.  Is there a way to make the path designation stick?
