I was just wondering if there will be an AVG 8 Free or have we come to the end of the line ?
I have been trying the paid version.It really is good.
The only snag is that in the UK the price is £30 elsewhere it is the equivalent of£20.
I really find that annoying.

what do you mean by this?

if you are XP? then avg 7.5 will continue to be available for you

Let me explain
At the present time there is AVG 7.5 paid version and AVG 7.5 Free.I am talking about Anti Virus.
There is also AVG 8.This is a paid version,although it can be tried free for 30 days.
This will,i suspect,replace version 7.5 in due course.
What i was trying to ascertain is ,will there be a version 8 Free.
I am currently putting version 8 through it's paces.It is a real beauty.It is more than just an Anti Virus.
Well worth trying,i think.
Hope this answers your question

I do know that avg av7.5 are expected to withdraw compatibility support for win 98se computers soon so those of us on that will have to do a rethink wacko.gif

avg 8 has added a nice tool called linkscanner, the problem is it sets your default search to yahoo, this is a bad move for a paid program that shouldn't rely on extra dollars to pay for itself

Also to be noted is that AVG Anti-Spyware will no longer be supported as a standalone product after the end of the year. The anti-spyware product will be bundled into AVG anti-virus 8.0. Those who purchased two-year licenses for AVG-AS or, even worse, lifetime licenses, and who currently use an anti-virus superior to AVG anti-virus, (that covers a lot of territory) will have no recourse unless they want to downgrade to AVG anti-virus in order to have access to AVG's anti-spyware product. Frankly, I think that would be pointless as AVG-AS is no longer the product it once was... so, it would make no sense to downgrade to AVG-AV in order to keep using a defanged AVG-AS. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


I would hope the company rethinks this

So does that mean that if we use AVG AS as a stand alone scanner, we'll have to ditch it? If so, maybe it's time to start talking about alternatives. No need to wait until the last minute.

AVG is becoming Norton's or McAfee, and there's nothing wrong with that, I have read some very enlightning posts where we are encouraged to support the antimalware industry with our pocketbooks, I agree

Many people need a total protection package, doesn't do them much good when they start P2P and installing malware deliberately tho
