[Closed] Is AVG "link scanner" worth installing?

I have it disabled as it was making google loads really slow.

Wot Stoner said.

Haven't had an issue with it being slow. But whether you need it depends on what you google for, I guess. I can't remember the last time I found something that wasn't green.

If you want protection get the NoScript add-on for Firefox - it disables Javascript by default, which cuts out a lot of risk. You can turn trusted sites back on easily when you visit them.

slow on an older machine OK if new fast cant recall ever seing a red sight from Google
