Anyone else having all these AVG marketing popups with AVG8free. I disabled
linkscanner because every time I put the cursor on a link in IE it popped up
a marketing window over half the screen.

Same here, but if you don't want to switch browsers there should be a
pop-up blocker for IE. Haven't used IE for a long time now.

Pop up blocker is turned on. I used the wrong term for the message. They are
hover help type of popups with marketing info to upgrade AVG. It isn't
happening on my laptop so I need to do some searching of some settings...
