Default hondata s300 software virus?? confused

Well I was downloading the software from hondata website and I was installing the software on my laptop and my anti virus software pops up saying the software has muiltiple viruses??

Anyone have this problem should I just ignore it? I'm using the normal free AVG anti virus software. An usually works pretty good i'm pretty sure hondata is legit but its kinda random that it says it has muiltple viruses??

just checked my email back from hondata

"Be aware that AVG antivirus software sometimes flags our software as a virus and removes the executable file, rendering the software inoperable. The only solution we have found is to uninstall AVG antivirus software."

i have the same issue, you should be able to add the smanager.exe file to the resident shield exclusions so avg wont look at that file when scanning. just re-install smanager and you should be all set.

That is exactly how I have mine set up. Just add the path to the exclusion list and you will be set.
