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

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 is this here?
I thought I was in ACV or ACAV.

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