AVG is notorios for false alarms, but where did you download your simba and smart from?

I use Kaspersky PURE, no virus here.

This is a false positive. The latest version of SMART spawns clients, and uses sockets to make a network to communicate back and forth with Simba so that SMART can be out of Simba's process. Many forms of malicious software use sockets to communicate your information to an outside party, so most anti-virus software mistakenly reports SMART as malicious.

You're using AVG, everything that runs on your computer = malware to it

smart remote is smart, don't worry about it.. or do and don't use simba, either way is cool
