    Title says it all fellas, how can I download & install the AVG toolbar with the active search & link scanner for Firefox without un-installing Avg then re-installing it. I'm afraid that if I do so some internet nasties might get to slip into my Davey boy, even if it's just for a minute or two.

    And yeah that's right, I want to give Firefox another try, its video downloadhelper add-on is lightyears ahead of Orbitdownloader because it can grab videos from "other" video streaming places, if ya' know what I mean ;)

    I couldn't find any downloads.
    So I think you'll need to re-install

    Erm, bummer I really don't want to risk being un-protected even for a microsecond :(

    Oh well...

    Umm.. yes kind of, but I wouldn't download it from a third party provider like that.

    you dont need AVG tool bar to stay protected, just keep your avg updated, scan every downloaded file from the internet and do a full PC scan every week, you'll be fine.
