  • Probably antivirus false positives.

AVG deleted my Tor executable a few days ago. Just download the package and unzip, etc., again and see what happens. I told AVG to ignore it. I haven't had a problem with any scans since then, although I still do not know why AVG picked up on it in the first place. I've been using Tor for a few years.

  • Many antivirus programs use a heuristic approach, and try to detect viruses based on how the code works. This sometimes generates false positives.
