[WriteLog] WLFriend

[Bill Parry]

Gary,

I would dump AVG and install Microsoft Security Essentials. I have been
using it on all 3 of my computers on my network and it works very nicely. It
plays nicely with both Writelog and DXBase. On the one case that it didn't
handle a virus, I also keep Malwarebytes on the computer to serve as a
backup. Both are free.

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?
