    Hi.
    Anyone else having a problem with this- having to refresh pages/pages hanging etc.
    And anyone got a solution (preferably without unistalling version 9).

    Yep, the linkscanner hogs bandwidth, You can disable it and have the option not to install it if You pick custom install while installing

    Actually, after googling the problem there, i just disabled the active surf shield on it (not the search shield yet though) and that seems to improve things.
    Browsing seem OK now.
    Thanks.

    Do you use AVG- just wondering would Avast be a better option.

    AVG 9 - Catch it, bin it, kill it. :)
