I may be missing something here, but when you do a Google search, Link Scanner scans all the website results displayed. This seems really strange, as the chances are you will only select one of the websites to view ...... isn't their logic a bit "off" here ? .... I can't see what they were thinking, it's definitely overkill.

Yep, thats the problem I had. It would still be analyzing many of the links long after I had found what I was looking for. Seemed to use a lot of resources in the process as well. Site Advisor is much more efficient.

I think that maybe the blacked out dialogues are to do with running the free version? Under Scan Whole Computer, what happens when you try Change Scan Settings? I just get black bars.

No difference Phil. (Except that the re-install was painless this time!)

I have reported it on the forum.

It is a theme issue. In the default theme all looks ok, but in Royale Vista 2 Blue I get these black bars.

Otherwise all is running ok and there is no slow down.

I would have never suspected a theme to be the culprit. Nice piece of detective work!

It wasn't me, someone on the avg forum suggested it might be.

Glad you made it out of there with your sanity. They can be a bit rude at times for no reason in those forums.

Decided to give this a try on my new laptop as was starting to feel Avast looks dated.

Must say I am very impressed, some nice little touches like the positive and negative ratings for web pages on a Google search.

If it isn't a fast machine the link scanner can slow down searches. Site advisor is more efficient.
