Official software - has some bugs

I have noticed several posts on this board and others, where there is some issue with the Official software.

My software crashed after I took the second full GMAT practice test and I wasn't able to recover the results of the test even with the GMAC's help center.

I would just reinstall the program; although, you might have to set up your anti virus program to ignore the GMAT prep software.

the problem is that my antivirus (AVG) is telling me that there's a trojan everytime i try to load the theory parts.

i dont think it a false positive, i really think the software is virused :|

Uninstall AVG and GMATPrep will work all FINE. Been there, don't that kind of a thing.
