Is there a way to turn off LinkScanner after AVG Free 8 is installed? My overview screen shows it as active and I can't find a way to turn it off.

Do you click open linkscanner and see the settings? Can you not uncheck the three options there? I just tried it and the Interface then says linkscanner disabled. Then I checked it back on, using only the top two checks and it worked for me.

With AVG Free 7.5 it would automatically check for updates as soon as I connected to the Internet. So far, AVG Free 8.0 does not seem to do that. Is it possible to have AVG Free 8.0 look for updates automatically as soon as I connect to the Internet?

Lou, Open AVG User Interface, open tools, open advanced settings, click on the schedules plus sign, click on the scheduled scan, schedule running, put a dot on action based, the third dot down that says On computer startt-up, it has a 4 minute delay that you can change. Then on task settings, I put a check on Enable this task, hit apply, hit o.k. I hope that answers your question

I was used to AVG Free 7.5 where you could see the update startup and the update take place. AVG Free 8.0 is also doing the automatic update but in 'stealth' mode - I never see it run but the initial AVG screen shows that an update took place shortly after I connect to the Internet.
