    My mozilla is having trouble while i am on the inernet. I will be at a random site, (not unsecured site, more like espn, gmail etc.) and suddenly my explorer closes and the AVG free scan states general error, not enough free memory, write error. This has happened a few time, Maybe a couple times a day. My task manager states about 4-10 percentage for CPU Usage as i am typing right now, and 31% for physical memory. I have a 4gb ram and the memory being used is 1.08gb.

    Does any one know what seems to be the problem?

    things i have done
    1) reinstall AVG
    2) reinstall mozilla

    By Mozilla you mean FireFox, right?
    My solution (I don't know if it would work): uninstall AVG and get something better like Norton's or Nod32. :p

    I would stay away from AVG as well. THough it's free, it doesn't even come close to the performance of NOD or Kaspersky.
