Firefox tells me to update to 10.0.1, but also tells me my AVG security won't work with update. What do I do for security? I'd skip update, but I already have hang problems, which always seems to happen if I don't update to current level.

I want to update, but not lose the security I have and like.

A catch-22 here: Update to avoid hang-time problems and loose my security that I'm comfortable with OR keep my AVG security and put up with "Mozilla not responding" hang time frustration.

The only item you'll lose is AVG Safe Search" which is incompatible with FF 10. All other functions of AVG are still valid and your computer is still protected. I have disabled AVG Safe Search for a long time now and have no problem whatsoever. You just have to be careful with what links do you click when you are on line. I don't know if AVG is going to fix this problem anytime soon since FF 10 has been out for a while and nothing has been done by AVG yet.

Thank you "silkphoenix" for your insight & help. I have been apprehensive to upgrade because once I do I can't go back to a previous version (no backtracking from what I've learned via others' experiences)
