It works fine for me apart from its insistance of checking every site on Google with annoying little spinning things. Click on them before the turn green and it just locks my pc. I've disabled the check but now get a message telling me that I am not fully protected. Bring back 7.5 please Isn't that "link scanner" ?. Mine is disabled but I still have anti virus (I think) Steve now ex-Sharjah + 50 (in France) ...........................................................................    Report

I'm also running it my (almost) 5 year old work PC running XP Pro and it does slow things up there whilst scanning, but I just let it scan overnight whilst the pc isn't being used.    Report

I find the Vista a pain to use, I use firefox but she uses IE. edit, I thought the green circles were only Link scanner on AVG 8 Steve now ex-Sharjah + 50 (in France) ...........................................................................    Report
