I use AVG 8. The issues are primarily around bandwidth usage and site stats but this is another topic entirely and should be discussed elsewhere. Incidentally the link scanner does not appear to work with Firefox.
I think it is unfair to brand AVG with the likes of Phorm .

I would agree but there have been occasions when the topics of posts have clearly diverted. However your comments are relevant.
@all
People need to remember who has posted here (Baroness Miller for example) and who may be following the debate. I am sure the last thing everyone wants is for the last five months of effort to lose its credibility.
Light relief is one thing but flaming and badgering is another. certain individuals will try to divert the thread but they should be ignored.
