AVG 8 officially blows

I was wondering why every so often all the web sites I normally visit, like LJ and FA, would lose all my custom settings. Apparently when AVG 8 detects a "tracking cookie", it helpfully DELETES THE ENTIRE COOKIES.TXT FILE! That means every single cookie in Firefox gets wiped out, not just the tracking cookie. Thanks, Grisoft!

Date: 2008-04-22 03:51 am (UTC)I just checked with the powers that be at AVG HQ, and it appears this should have been fixed in 8.0 but unfortunately slipped through the checking nets. Rest assured it will be fixed in SP1, coming soon. In the meantime, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
