Default AVG suddenly seems to be more intrusive!?

has anybody else noticed this, or is it just me? i now get frequent warnings about opening certain pages, incl. those that i would think can be trusted, like my email accounts... very odd - and highly annoying!!

Thanks Nico, same version as mine but mine is the free one, so CFG is obviously not suffering the difference between paid and free then

You may have hit the nail on the head there Janet!

I remember several months ago getting all sorts of warnings and suspected viruses etc. I used Yahoo quite a lot at the time.

I uninstalled the Yahoo toolbar and don't use Yahoo for anything much now. Yahoo could be the problem
