I posted a query about AVG's Link Scanner on an AVG forum.  The reply
indicates that the Link Scanner does not work WITH any browser.
Instead, it monitors the computer's HTTP connections, making it
independent of any browser.

My query was relative to AVG 8.5, which I'm currently using.  However, I
would expect the same design to be found in AVG 9.0.

Go to Mozdev at  for quick access to
extensions for Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, and other
Mozilla-related applications.  You can access Mozdev much
more quickly than you can Mozilla Add-Ons.

I've had good results (as far as I know) with F-Secure, but it is not cheap.

Hello All - another quick thought, what about something with a firewall?
I think that would somewhat important too. I do not see any of that with
the free programs, unless I have missed it.

Thanks for all input.

Trying Avast next..

The Windows Firewall is more than sufficient, especially if a hardware 
firewall is used (which EVERYONE should have).  Except for those that 
will comment otherwise.


But if you feel the need, Comodo offers a nice free one...

Haven't used this one, but many people on some sites I keep up with, use 
it, and it's been around for awhile.  It has both, an AV and firewall 
program, which you can install together, or separately.

I've been using Avast Anti-Virus [Free] for several years, and it has 
always worked well with all versions of SM I have used.

As I stated in another thread, I'm using AVG 8.5 Free Edition.


You should update to AVG 9.0 now! ;)


Its Link Scanner claims to be effective with Firefox, which means it
might also be effective with SeaMonkey.


The Link Scanner does not work with SM, and I have posted a request 
about that in AVG Forum pointing out that both Firefox and SM are 
Gecko browsers!



I'm not using SeaMonkey or Thunderbird for E-mail.  I'm using
12-year-old Eudora Lite 3.0.6.  AVG 8.5 has successfully found virus
attachments in my E-mail.


AVG works very well with SM, apart from the Link Scanner but that's 
not much to worry about. All the OP needs to think of when installing 
AVG is to choose the "Personal E-mail Scanner" as the plugin for 
scanning e-mails.

Hi Samuel,

Avira's Antivir is a good one also.

I use Nod32, from Eset. I do not use the suite, just the AV.
