Looks like user feed back finally pushed AVG into fixing the LinkScanner Issues.



Are they too late? Many have already jumped ship.

Heard similar elsewhere.

Have not upgraded from V7.5 and the updates are still coming in so far (so they must have a clue all is not well). If it's not fixed I will also jump ship. Avast seems to be well rated AIUI.

I removed AVG V8 and reloaded it without the website scanner. Now my DL/UL speeds are back to normal.

Why not just disable the scanner from within the AVG program?

How tricky is it to spot the option ? I'm sure this must be where my neighbour went wrong.

Eventually he lost ALL IP connectivity.

Lol, that would be common sense. But lest just whinge about a free program, thats more fun.
