| Anyone had trouble on this site with any of these nasties? Have only been active on this forum for a couple weeks & AVG has shut my system down about half a dozen times now, stating it's protecting from harm.
I'm on my computer every day, often all day, and this is the only site this is happening with. Anyone? |

| I don't use AVG, but they are saying on the Computer Help Forum it is a 'false positive' following an update... |
Here is a link that might be useful: Computer Help thread

| Thank you morz8! I'm running a new Vista 64-bit & this was only the 2nd hiccup, which made me nervous. Also new to the forums, so don't know my way around well yet, so thanks for linking me to the thread. |

| While I don't post often on computer help forum, I find it a great place to read/lurk....more than once I've been alerted to something that would have caused me concern, or worse, a major technical problem if I hadn't been for warned. Once in a while I'll even come across a tip that makes computing more efficient (still trying to familiarize myself with Win 7, Office 2010 after being a long time XP, Office 2003 user), so will try to at least read through the thread titles a couple of times a week. If you do have a problem ever, there really is some valuable help to be found there in some generous and experienced tech types :). |

| I wondered what was going on, too. I've been getting the same warnings. Also running AVG on Vista (but mine hasn't been new since 2007), browsing with Firefox. Thank you morz8! |

| Thanks for the tip morz8. Good to know. BTW, good luck with Office 10, imo it's bloated (like Vista)& not as intuitive as 'o3 version. |
