Don't you have any mention of LinkScanner on this AVG page?

I don't get any pop-up status message. I don't have the e-mail scanner
listed at all; the linkscanner is there, and listed as active.

So...to recap... I have the e-mail scanner listed but ticked inactive and
the linkscanner listed and at the moment ticked as inactive...
...whereas your linkscanner is active...any views as to its usefulness or
otherwise of linkscanner?

I have no clue about its utility, or problems. I use Avast AV on my
computer. That is a relative's computer, and I haven't heard her complain
about any problems.

BTW, when I installed Avast, I did it the same way as I installed AVG8:
Run
"Custom" install, and deslect email scanning. I do not run client side AV
email scanners. Too many problems. I do not use Symantec products (such as
Norton AV). Too many problems. I do not use McAfee products. Too many
problems.

fair enough

As you didn't realise I expect she doesn't realise that she has LinkScanner
active..no problems but I wonder if you/she considers it useful?

I am generally very pleased with AVG - no problems.
