Browsing Problems – AVG 9 Problems

November 4, 2009

I had recently updated to AVG 9 (free edition) on WinXP. Since then, I have been having problems accessing internet (esp. on Chrome and Firefox). Chrome kept on displaying “Error 2 (net::ERR_FAILED): Unknown error.” After a lot of fooling around and annoyance, I uninstalled AVG, and browsing got back to normal. But, I did not want to continue without AVG protection, and so I did some research. The problem happens to be with the new LinkScanner. So, here are the steps to smooth browsing using AVG 9 (with LinkScanner disabled):

(1) Open AVG User Interface and double-click LinkScannerAVG User Interface

(2) Disable LinkScanner options (1st 2 or all 3 options) and click Save changesLinkScanner Component

(3) Right-click on LinkScanner and select Ignore the state of this component so that there is no warning triangle on AVG tray icon: LinkScanner (ignore state)

This is the only solution that seemed to work for me, and I am going to continue with LinkScanner disabled till AVG fixes the problem.

Seow Biblical Hebrew Vocabulary

October 23, 2009

If you are learning Biblical Hebrew and you use C. L. Seow’s A Grammar for Biblical Hebrew, then you might find this post useful. Here is a list of vocabs from Seow’s book, in Hebrew alphabetical order. For those who like colors, here is a color-coded version :)

As far as I know, this list is up-to-date with Seow’s book. If there are any mistakes, I apologize for any misguidance. If you want to edit this list, there is an Excel file on my Google site.
My sincere thanks to katadrew.com for the link & Lionel Windsor for the original list.
