That is why I'm not on, right now.

The latest version of AVG Anti Virus, and another program I found through PC Magazine's Best Free Software, called ThreatFire, conflicteded to such a degree, that NOTHING, and I do mean NOTHING would work.

So this goes to a warning to you.

Don't install ThreatFire, if you have got the AVG 8.

Never have more than one Anti-Virus program on your computer. They are bound to conflict and on the worst case scenario, completely lock the computer down, effectively making it unusable.

Same with firewalls.
