    Just realised that some AVG components are not compatible with Firefox.

    Yes, AVG doesn't play nicely with Firefox these days. Avast seems to be the choice of many, but my personal preference is PandaCloud, which scores very highly in comparison tests:

    Just for the record, I use Mozilla Firefox and AVG Professional.

    Both programs seem to live happily with each other and I appear to be well protected from spam attacks.

    However, I have no wish to tempt providence and will stay well clear of ww2f until such time as they have a clean bill of health.

    The message I got was "blackhole exe has been blocked" I think I sent a warning regarding the post.....fakeoakley store or something similar.


    Brad that is the same like my Norton caught 3 times at ww2f. Comes it from advertising?

    I am not sure about that. I think it has more to do with people's signature blocks or avatars. I have no idea how it happens. I run AVG everyday and it seems to catch it. I also have an active pop up blocker.

    I run IE and generally don't have problems.
