Re: IE8 on Vista - few sites unbrowsable

1. Uninstall AVG & reboot.

2. Do a a clean install of AVG (Free) v9.0 (not an upgrade), opting for a
CUSTOM install and do NOT install Linkscanner, Search-Shield, Active
Surf-Shield, Security toolbar, or any of the email scanning components.

Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email

Some sites are not yet compliant with the new technology in IE8, so
compatibility mode was included in IE8 to allow you to emulate IE7 or IE 6 to
view the page. . You could also make sure that the site is listed under your
'Trusted Sites' if you have secure browsing enabled. Here is a link to show
you how to run IE8 in compatibility mode:
