Hi Barry, I use NOD32 and it has no problems with google. If I remember correctly, when Google first came out it had some issues with AVG but now all sorted. If you're not sure about Google there's MSN Search, I think that what it is called, which's another program to search your hard drive.

Any problems with virus and spyware scanners?
