I'm glad you got it somewhat sorted out.

Anyone know how to shut down the AVG Link Scanner without sending the task bar icon into an alert mode ??

This is what worked for me.
I downloaded AVG installation file again, and I ran this command:
c:\avg_free_stf_*.exe /REMOVE_FEATURE fea_AVG_SafeSurf /REMOVE_FEATURE fea_AVG_SafeSearch
where "*" are symbols (letter/numbers) in downloaded installation file.
It installs AVG over the top, but without LinkScanner feature.

I wouldn't disable automatic updates.

I would .. or will, if I can
Seems like no matter when I schedule an update .. an extra reboot is required to "fix" the task bar icon.
Manually, I could just do an update before I power down for the night.
Then all would be well the next morning.

I'll have to tinker with the link scanner "fix" later .. Thanks for the tip.

If I can Verify .. My Install file is ... avg_free_stf_en_8_100a1295.exe
Is this what I’d enter ??
c:\avg_free_stf_en_8_100a1295.exe/REMOVE_FEATURE fea_AVG_SafeSurf /REMOVE_FEATURE fea_AVG_SafeSearch

I'm worried about some spaces ???

Just installed AVG 8 in my Laptop .. After Manually removing AVG 7.5 … ZA and WinPatrol.
ZA & WP needed updated anyway.
No problem this time ... But AVG seems to work differently in my Laptop.

I'm wondering ... Am I the only one who has to reboot after every AVG Update ??

When it no longer has the hour glass, check in your C drive to be sure you have a file called registrybackup.reg before continuing. If you do not see that file, please let me know before doing anything else.

I don't have that file.

Yes.
