AVG 8 free, keeps finding conflict with inexisting ewido program. Has any one had the same problem, and found the way around it?

For all those who have the complaint of AVG slowing down their computers, especially browsers, that is because, during installation, you must have checked on LINK SCANNER installation. the best thing to do is, either disable link scanner in avg settings, or re-install avg, and uncheck the link scanner installation, and only install AVG ANTIVIRUS component.

AVG 2008 is by far the best anti-virus program (in freeware category).

Most free anti virus are disabling my browsers. I use both IE7 and Firefox and they both hang once I load antiviruses. Please advise ???

im just really frustrated with avg at the moment. why is there NOT a option to “ignore forever” when resident shield detects something it “thinks” is a virus? this is really really turning me off and i will be looking for different protection from now on.

I loved AVG 7.5 but Version 8 has made me leave and go to Avast, Version 8 of AVG has slowed my system down and thats not good, so bye bye AVG, why do people always change things when they are running well.
