How apropos -- I just read about them today.  AVG is a piece of shit that screws web site owners by generating bogus traffic.  I use Privoxy.  It's a bit tricky to get set up, but it's free and does a great job tossing ads and other junk.

I disagree (none / 0)

This is what has screwed them up

"new malware scanner from AVG Technologies."

I turned off this piece.

Always do a custom or advanced install and then always go and check the prefs and options after install.

oops (none / 0)

this too I turn off
"AVG acquired Exploit Prevention Labs and its LinkScanner,"

I agree that they should have done a better job. I will need to look deeper into this myself.
