health.

AVG fixed it pretty quick with new definitions after getting lots of
reports on the false positives. BTW, it wasn't just the Omega
installer. I had a few other programs that must have used the same
installer because they reported the same thing. Firetune for Firefox
was one I can remember. A day or so later after new definitions from
AVG they all reported clean again.

I tried to search the www.omegadrivers.net web-site but did not find
any facility to read more about the Omega drivers or any way to
download the appropriate drivers and mmc for my Radeon 8500 DV card.
Could you kindly guide me with the correct address for downloading
Omega drivers?

Thanks.

I guess I'll pass this time. I installed regular 5.8 on top of the older
Omegas (driver only install), and the setup runs well enough. With the 5.9
already around the corner, I won't bother updating to full Omega.
