It appears to be taking a long time to check the various links on a page (ads, etc). Also when starting my machine it gives a popup stating a component named WatchDog is disconnected then after a period of wating it pops up saying watchdog is now connected. I don't think I can put up with the slow surfing the update has sent my way. Is anyone else having this problem? I guess I could uninstall it and do a re-install. I did uninstall the old version before installing the new version. Yes, I installed it and came up with the same problem. Then the other problem was it would not update the spam filter, and kept giving me an error. Then when I wanted to surf, if was PAINFULLY slow and I have a 18 meg conneciton. I could almost go out and eat a sandwich while waiting for a site to load. Then when I went to scan it showed me over 190 problems, trojans, viruses, etc. I went to several online scans, they showed clean, reinstalled 7.5 and it shows clean. I think they have some work to do on this new version. Didn't take me long to uninstall and go back to 7.5, works great and smooth. Hope they don't drop support or updates for 7.5 Have a good day, Normandie

danny9 Go Ahead, Make My Day Premium join:2002-07-14 Clinton Township, MI kudos:2	Had the same problem with the complete scan. Showing a mass of trojans, viruses etc. Did a scan with SuperAntiSpyware and 7.5. Clean, not even a lousy cookie. Every time I reboot---a new network found. Speed has been so so. Most of the time it's not bad at all then slows down some. Kinda up and down. v. 8 does not seem to like MailWasher Pro for some reason either. Keeps losing internet connection even though it's set up to allow all. With 7.5, no problem. But the last thing that irks me to no end is that damn toolbar. I have a license to AVG w/ Firewall. Perfect. Ran it with SuperAntiSpyware and WinPatrol Plus. Plain and simple without all the BS. Very low resources. This Monster they created now is something else. Thanks but no thanks. When 7.5 is gone, so am I. -- VoicePulse 07/29/04

Why does it seem that each time a company has a good product they have to "improuve" it to where it is absolutely worthless? Have a good day, Normandie

AVG Stuff @broadband2.iol.cz	Normandie in this case Ill recommend you to contact AVG tech support to solve this issue. You can do it on this page: »www.grisoft.com/ww.support-techn···ct?ver=8 Btw there is also possibility to attach some files. If you can attach the scan result screenshot and some of the detected file Im sure it would lead to the solution
