Hello,

I found a topic about how do I stop false positives with AVG but not sure what they are talking about.

The part I am not understand is this part: You need to go to Tools > Advanced Settings, and then under Resident Shield go to Exceptions and ADD the path that ePSXe is in.

I tried using the search to scan my entire hard DISK for ePSXe and it found no results so I am not sure what to do. Even if it did find results. I am not sure how to add the path.
