Why is AVG detecting LogMeIn Central as a Trojan?

For a short period of time, LogMeIn Central was falsely being detected by AVG's Virus Scanner as a Trojan horse virus named Vundo JI. AVG has since issued an update where LogMeIn Central is no longer detected as a virus.

If you quarantined the LogMeIn Central file, you can simply take it out of the Virus Vault to restore functionality:

To restore files from virus vault proceed as follows:

  1. Open AVG.
  2. Go to History.
  3. Go to the Virus Vault.
  4. Select logmein.exe, right-click it and click Restore.

If you completely deleted LogMeIn Central when it was detected, you can restore the host service by reinstalling it. To reinstall LogMeIn Central, please click the link below to download the host installer:

https://secure.logmein.com/logmein.msi

This will pull down the installer for LogMeIn Central. When prompted, select the option to reinstall LogMeIn Central. This will repair and replace any files that were removed by AVG.

To prevent this from re-occurring, please make sure that you update AVG to the latest version, which was released this morning. To update, open AVG and go to Tools > Advanced Settings > Exceptions on the left, add C:\Program Data\LogMeIn as an exception, and restart the host.
