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.....) |

Did you uninstall Avast before you installed AVG 8.0?

Strange symptoms indeed! I can't imagine what would cause them. 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. |

Additional info - uninstalled Avast using the cleaner tool. Installed AVG without Safesearch and Link scanner modules. No change in behaviour - IE7 still hangs on opening a second window - Firefox does NOT however. |

More info - if I use the File-New Window within IE7, everything works OK. If I click on the IE7 icon either in the quick launch toolbar or on the start menu, it doesn't. |

Hi, Try disabling other browser add-ons (not AVG) to see if there's a conflict with another add-on.

I have Vista Ultimate SP1 installed. I installed AVG Free 8.0, but I unselected the [B]Security Toolbar[/B] during the installation.I had no problem printing a web page in IE 7.Has anyone else tried AVG 8.0 without installing the Security Toolbar to confirm that the printing problem is in the toolbar?I suppose you could also try disabling the Security Toolbar in IE 7 if it is already installed.John Post Originated from http://www.VistaForums.com Vista Support Forums |

what can't you print? the only thing that cannot print are ads because AVG blocks those in the Web shield on the pro version and Link Scanner on the free version If you uncheck both you should be able to print robin "Christopher" <chrissie@lambo.org> wrote in message news:58754461-6114-41A5-9452-C88E3EEB3469@microsoft.com... >I installed without toolbar and cannot print a web page in IE7.

I can confirm that I've experienced the same problem on an OEM Dell install of Vista Home Premium + post install SP1 with IE7 and AVG 8. I've even used the AVG install switches that don't install the link scanner (hidden switches, need to be used at command line, listed on AVG's site) and still cannot print from IE7. There's nothing added to IE, no toolbars, no addins apart from the basic Microsoft ones installed by the OS. IE7 print preview appears fine, print driver settings are all available, when you send to print queue icon appears in systray but shows no docs to print. All other apps print fine. Removing AVG 8 resolves the issue. Have had to revert to AVG 7.5 for the meantime. robinb;3756958 Wrote: > what can't you print? > the only thing that cannot print are ads because AVG blocks those in > the Web > shield on the pro version and Link Scanner on the free version > If you uncheck both you should be able to print > robin > "Christopher" <chrissie@lambo.org> wrote in message > news:58754461-6114-41A5-9452-C88E3EEB3469@microsoft.com... > >I installed without toolbar and cannot print a web page in IE7.

I cannot print anything that originates from IE7 - web page, banking, etc etc I can print anything else and I can print the pages if I use Firefox. AVG's response is to switch off UAC.

My error was due to the fact that I was printing to a networked printer and not a locally attached printer. For some reason, network printers do work with IE7 and AVG 8.0 Free. As I added later, turning off UAC seems the only work-around.

actually avg 8.0 free should have nothing to do with printing or network printing if you were using avg 8.0 with firewall then you might have to add the printer to the firewall settings I am running AVG without the tool bar.
