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.
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.
Progressive Blue
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.
thanks i will check these out.
