What modification is needed to AVG virus protection system after updating Firefox?

When I try to update Firefox on my computer I receive a message that the process will disable my AVG virus protection. I am currently using the latest version of AVG updated earlier this year.
I would appreciate further information on what modification is required to maintain my virus protection.

The extension has nothing to do with it. The "Search.avg.com" was already disabled and I did remove the AVG Toolbar, and any others mentioned Firefox not compatible with I disabled or deleted, I restarted Firefox and the same problem exists. No extension is connected to my antivirus program.

  • I purchased AVG virus protection; it is blocked by Firefox; now what?

    I purchased AVG virus protection 2-3 months ago. Today,I get a message from Firefox indicating it has been blocked because it is incompatible. Now What? Is Firefox offering adequate protection? Or are you suggesting an alternate protection at no cost to me considering I have already paid.

    See AVG for an updated version of their extensions.

    Additional informaton about OS X security can be found in Thomas Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    In addition to what Bimmer 7 Series has suggested...
    Keep Java (not JavaScript) disabled in all your browsers and if you have not installed it yet, don't do so unless you are told that you need it in order to run a critical application or visit a web-site that you must use.
    You won't need your Firewall turned on as long as you are on a trusted network using a strong WPA2 password for WiFi, such as your home or workplace, but be sure to turn it on when you need to take your MBP to Starbucks or some other public hotspot.

  • How does FireFox 4 affect AVG virus protection.

    I saw on your Fire Fox 4.0 possible problems. That downloading Fire Fox 4.0 would cause AVG virus protection to not work properly. What effect doe Fire Fox 4.0 have on AVG virus protection

    I think you need 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."

  • Will I need any other virus protection such as McAfee for my computer if I'm using Firefox?

    I'm purchasing a new home computer and would like to know if I will need any further virus protection, such as McAfee or Webroot? Is the protection from Firefox sufficient enough or should I get something else as well? Thank you.
    Neil

    Firefox is a browser, it is not a antivirus program, of course you must install a antivirus program of your choice.
    An excellent add-on to support as a supplement your antivirus program which is provides extra protection to your Firefox is [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/noscript/?src=hp-dl-mostpopular NoScript]. See it and your choice is yours.
    thank you

    Do I need to install virus protection for the windows portion of the partitioned hard drive on the MacBook Pro?

    You are running Windows, so yes. I like Microsoft's built in protection and how 8.1 is 'hardened' but I also install Malwarebytes. I will not use Kaspersky anymore. But you do need something. And 8.1 is more secure than prior versions definitely but there were some major zero-day security updates on this month's "Patch Tuesday."

    Do I need to install virus protection software on my MacBook Air?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You do not need to install additional security software. OS X already comes with security software to keep your Mac safe. See > http://www.thesafemac.com/mmg
    However, you should keep OS X and all your applications updated, and do not visit strange websites. Also, be careful with public networks, where your Mac is more vulnerable.

    Does the IPad require virus protection?what do you recommend?

    Unless you jailbreak your device, there's really no way to expose the vulnerabilities of iOS (apps are tightly controlled and run pretty much sandboxed for the most part). Welcome to Apple land where compared to other mainstream platforms, you are relatively safe from things such as a virus.
