LinkShare links and AVG anti-virus software
Oct 26 2009
As you may have heard, an update over the weekend to some anti-virus software from a company called AVG is interfering with some LinkShare links between affiliates and advertisers. We assume this was unintentional. We discussed this with executives at AVG this morning, and expect this matter will be resolved soon.
We will post more as soon as we have news.
Update, 7 PM - We’ve spoken with AVG and the issue appears to be resolved. LinkShare links are working as they normally would on computers with AVG installed.
Mark Kirschner, CMO
Great to see that you are working to solve this issue
I didn’t know LinkShare was having a problem, but I did notice that my AVG was making it impossible to visit normally safe webpages. Thanks for working with AVG to solve this problem.
