  1. I have a friend who's computer all of the sudden lost her ie link. It was missing out of the programs menu. When I tried to make a link to it, I got an error about the file not being there. When I navigate to program files\internet explorer, iexplore.exe is not there(visually). when we run iexplore from the run menu it works. I can use either "iexplore.exe" or "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe". Using that logic, the executable is there. I upgraded from version 7 to 8. everything works, but the executable is half missing. Any thoughts?

    I have tried unhiding files, that does not help. Also when I do a windows search, it does not find it.

  2. We recommend avg free to most our clients(we just bought some oem norton 2009 av), mainly because it has most all features needed and it is an easy quick install. I am not convinced the paid products are much if any better, they all suck. I have not noticed any issues with AVG till today. We had AVG 8.5 installed with Vista Premium Sp1. While running a scan using mbam the computer was really unresponsive. I noticed the AVG resident shield process that you mentioned was pegging the cpu. I'm sure this was because every file the mbam was scanning was being also scanned in real time using AVG. I made a point of watching the process manager while clicking in directories, I noticed the avg resident shield process is kind of a cpu hog(as you stated). I am not sure that is such a horrible thing. Most of the time on the computer we are not running multiple scans or bouncing around in different directories. My opinion on it is in the middle, I don't know :-|
