Sharpie Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I have received notification from AVG saying that they are no longer after the end of May updating 7.5, and that one has to upgrade to 8.0. When I check the way I read it 8.o is not free there being a charge of $54.00, am I reading this wrong or are they dicontinuing the free service. I am very satisfied with what I have, and would probably pay, but if I don't have to I would be ehappier. I have noticed lately that after updates I have to restart my computer, is this all part of the same new system. As usual any advice greatly appreciated.

Sheriff Fatman Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 There is a free version of AVG 8.0 available. It's not an update so you will have to uninstall 7.5 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And (ahem) you can just download it. So, by definition, is rather free. Disclaimer : I do not support thepiratebay or anyone who advocates its use. I was just pointing out such a site exists.

If you're just using dial-up, then you'll be OK with whatever the free version is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're just using dial-up, then you'll be OK with whatever the free version is. If you are using a wireless router you don't really need an extra firewall, the router acts as a firewall in it's own right and in conjunction with the Windows firewall is enough for the vast majority of systems.
