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 know I am beating a dead horse here, but if you uninstall AVG and
reinstall it in custom mode, you can uncheck e-mail scanning during the
install and AFAIK, the LinkScanner will still be operative and can still
be turned off if you wish.

I sent you a Google search that went into the plusses and the problems
LinkScanner was causing.

Since many of us don't even use AVG, perhaps you would be better off
getting the information right from the horse's mouth.
