: Installed Free AVG 8 here today on two systems - Vista Home Premium SP1
and
: XP SP3 with IE7.
: On the Vista machine, the installation of AVG 8 broke IE7 in opening a
: second window - it just hung until the "not responding" message appeared.
: I tried installing AVG without the surfsearch function, and without the
: Linkscanner module - still couldn't open a second window in IE.
: Uninstalling of AVG 8 cured the problem.
:
: The installation on XP SP3 with IE7 had no effect at all. IE7 behaved
: perfectly normally.
: Anyone seen this, and is there a fix?
: (The reason I went for AVG is that it picked up a virus on my XP machine
: that Avast! did not.....)

I *can* tell you that your last statement above would still be true
if you took an anti-virus from column 'a' and a different one from
column 'b' and substituted them for your choices. Sometimes it's
just a matter of what the vendor decides is worth alerting on and
sometimes it's just because they all miss something sometime.

Both of those anti-virus programs are 'adequate' IMO - so 'if
it ain't broke, don't fix it' applies.
