Is there anything you can't do?

@Mike.... perhaps time to get better broadband. I've got true a true 3Mbps service with a decent provider and use LinkScanner without any noticeable difference. Wouldn't use the Internet without using something like LinkScanner with all the drive by download infections out on the WWW! Scary to think the bad guys are infecting legitimate website to get their crapware out onto unsuspecting user's systems.

For example, here's one from earlier this year that saw LinkScanner Pro doing the needful:

The bad guys have certainly got more proficient at hacking more and more websites since that incident.

If you turn off anything in AVG it frowns constantly - ! ! Alert ! !

Why? I cannot fathom.

This is a fine reason to turn to Avast antivirus, and away from AVG on slower connections and slower machines.

Mike: "Hotmail is one notable page that becomes insufferably slow thanks to link scanner."

Hotmail needs no help to become insufferable.

AVG is frowning.

AVG works perfectly. Hotmail is a virus and so is Microsoft.

"doing the needful"

---> Yes, please do the needful.

I'll maybe think about installing Opera when I get the Source Code, and not before.

Till then, Konqueror suits me fine.

They'll never release it. I know for a fact it has "I HATE AJ STILES" (only written backwards "SELITSJAETAHI") in the source comments.

"Till then, Konqueror suits me fine."

Graphical WWW? Pah. Gopher suits me fine.
