If my AVG anti virus software, uncompatible with AVG, I will have to stop using Firefox altogether. I had one computer crash totally and was non recoverable from a virus. My desktop is now at the repair shop because of a virus. Hey, you sobs have caused me to 1800 for a new laptop plus now t he desktop is down with Computer Associates virus software. Is Firefox that bizarre it allows us to lose big bucks because it rejects antivirus software?

Hey, Goodbye until you fix this issue.

I think you need to update AVG to version 10 (also known as AVG 2011):

Regarding AVG FREE:

"...version 10.0.1209 is compatible with Firefox 4."

Regarding AVG paid:

"If Firefox 4 reports that only AVG Safe Search is incompatible with Firefox 4.0, please proceed according to FAQ 3271 to update your AVG.

In case Firefox 4 reports that either AVG Security Toolbar or both AVG Security Toolbar and AVG Safe Search are incompatible with Firefox 4.0, please perform repair installation of AVG, according to FAQ 3251.

Note: In case you meet this issue with AVG 9.0, kindly upgrade to AVG 2011 to rectify the issue."
