Since I upgraded to AVG 8.5 Firefox 2 continously crashes. I go to do a search
on google and it may load the results or it just might crash in the process. If
the results do get loaded then it might crash when I click on a link. Just today
alone FF crashed just about every time.

You know in the tab bar where it says "Loading"? The littlte icon doesn't
animate like it's supposed to. If it does, it's extremely slow.

Anyone have a solution on how to cure that? This is even after a reboot.

Then I really totally dislike AVG adding in all those icon things that show the
site is safe. How do you turn that feature off?

With forte agent, since I installed their APN service, I continously get shut
down for no reason. I can live with that. No big deal there.

Have programmers today lost their caring about providing software that works the
way it's supposed to or do they care more about seeing how much crap they can
add in without bothering to fix what is broken?

While you're waiting for more help, dl AVG again, save it to somewhere you
can find it, uninstall AVG, reboot and install it again.
Only takes a few minutes and you won't lose your bookmarks or preferences.

PS:There will be other suggestions coming from those more in the know, but I
would sure try what I suggested now.

That's what I was thinking. Do a new install rather than an upgrade.

Just for the hell of it, you may want to try re-installing AVG . . .

If you're talking about those little green stars with a white check mark
showing up next to google search results, that's the Link Scanner. To turn
that off, click the AVG icon on your toolbar to open up AVG, double click
Link Scanner, UN-check "Enable AVG Search shield". If you don't want to be
bothered with the exclamation mark showing up on that Link Scanner icon
afterwards, then right-click the LinkScanner icon, and check "ignore
component state" . . .

Rather than an upgrade to what?

Curious. Why are you still using Firefox 2? Version 3.0.10 is the
current version.

Try going back to the previous version. Just because a new version is out
doesn't mean it fixes any errors or works any better. More often the exact
opposite. That applies to *anything*.

Yes. Always a good recommendation to run out of date antivirus
applications.
