Default AVG AntiVirus - LinkScanner Disabled??

I just downloaded ' AVG Anti-Virus free editon'..

It now says my 'LinkScanner' is disabled. What does this mean? Is my computer now under threat?

I changed my internet hompage back to google, from the AVG page... is this a problem?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Hello Stephanieboo,

you should re enable the link scanner. -

for Firefox, go to Tools - AddOns, find the "AVG Safe Search" plugin and enable it
- for IE7, go to Tools - Manage AddOn - Enable or Disable Addon. Again, search for "AVG Safe Search" and enable it

there is no problem with changing your home page back to google.
