AVG 7.5 Users Must Upgrade To 8.0 By May 31, 2008
If you are still using the version 7.5 for AVG, you may have been confronted with a nag screen. The screen indicates that AVG will no longer provide updates after May 31, 2008. There is also a link provided that takes you directly to the AVG web site. Read the site carefully, since AVG wants you to purchase the retail version, instead of using the freebie.
Look towards the bottom of the screen to locate the free version. Or go directly to the free AVG 8.0 download site located here.
Read the documentation before installing. You will need to uninstall AVG 7.5 first, before installing the new version. Also after installation, make sure you update to the latest virus definitions.
AVG now states that there is no need to uninstall 7.5 first. During installation of version 8, AVG will automatically remove versions 7.5.
Enjoy.
Comments welcome.
