From: Jackson on 21 Mar 2010 20:14 I am testing Google's Chrome browser. Will it automatically be protected by my AVG 9.0? Thanks Jack from Taxacola (formerly Pensacola), FL

Google Chrome, Mozilla FireFox/SeaMonkey/Netscape, Internet Explorer, Mosaic (he, he), Opera.... Doesn't matter as long as the "On Access" scanning is left enabled. In short, it is Browser independent. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

If your browser employs a VM, and malicious code can be consumed by it without hitting the *real* filesystem, then your AV will most likely not see it. Your AV active scanning component is not there to protect the goings on of a VM, it is there to help you to protect the actual machine. Better ask Google and/or AVG directly about any extensions that allow antimalware to interfere with browsing on your behalf.
