Seems like most AV vendors are going with safe surf in their products. Glad to see AVG staying up. I really like their products.

I did have a problem with AOL v8 working using AVG 8 and Safe Search. After turning off the Safe Search, AOL v8 was able to connect.

I tried the new VI tried the new V8 and was disappointed. The link safe part of it slowed web browsing down made some pages 404. Its starting to look like Grisoft is going the way of Norton. Right now I cant recommend this to any of my clients; Looks as if Avast + Threatfire might be my new one two punch.
