I think this every time AVG busts out a popup in the middle of a Counter-Strike match.

Edit: 5 minutes later, AVG "detected" csgo.exe and asked me if I want to quarantine. Uninstalled.

Maybe csgo.exe does tricks that look like a virus when it's doing its anticheat probing?

I'll bet you're right about that. To AVG's credit, it may be overly protective and annoying at times but I don't think it has ever let me down outside of being annoying popupware. Maybe I should just finally pay for it like I should have since I've been enjoying their free edition for longer than my memory serves me. Note to self: do the same for Sublime Text.
