It is free from today. I doubt if I will be installing due to selling my PC and using NOD32 on my laptop.

Correct me if I am wrong, but AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0 is not the same as AVG AntiVirus 8.0.

Simply means that AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0 is now available.

Well I have it up and running for free

Please, read my post again and then confirm which software that you have running for free.

... or tell me that AVG is wrong when they say that they are different.

:hihi::hihi::hihi:

:hihi::hihi::hihi:

Not funny, the file was corrupt, buggered the previous release up and now I cant even uninstall it!

Sorry, foxy.

I had a similar problem in one of the earlier changes of version and have stuck with the old one since.

It still does the basic job, updates daily etc. without the bells and whistles.

Please, read my post again and then confirm which software that you have running for free.

All I got was a blank screen, so I rebooted and got the same again.
I never uninstall any software....I use Acronis and was up and running in 2minutes. :) :P

It can be removed unistalled in the normal way through CCleaner if you have that installed. If that fails use safe mode.

I just installed it on this Vista machine and it refused to uninstall the old AVG 7.5 which it said it would and I got an intsallation error. I had to reboot and remove 7.5 manually and then reinstall 8 and even then it wouldnt have it. It finally installed at the third attempt along with its crappy link scanner function.

Did you not get your username and password via an email from NOD?
I would contact them and they will send it to you.

I just disabled it but it reminds you by putting the big red exclamation mark on the tray icon. I dont know much about it but is it the same thing as siteadvisor.

:nono: Bet it takes at least five minutes ;)

nice programme just a shame that it was spoilt with the link scanner had to turn the bloody thing off so i could get on certan websites

Not on a 6GB partition it doesn't, or do you have a slow system. :o :D

Nice program!!!? Just reinstalled now I have more time to play. Just get a blank screen on reboot....after leaving it for 20 minutes I gave up. :P

Never experienced any problems with AVG 7.5 or any of the previous versions,
but I'm having problems with version 8.0 :(

My system drive is about 6GB - but...find the CD, load it in the drive, reboot and wait for Acronis to load = 2 minutes. Restore system and reboot = 3 minutes.

Total = 5

From a cold start 5 minutes would be an a fair assumption. :)


Restart> F11 is a little quicker.

At least with Acronis you get a nice clean uninstall and 5 minutes is such a short time to wait to be up and running again. ;)

I was taking a leaf out of your lads book "mines bigger than your" If you know what I mean. :)

Actually it wasn't anything to do with who's was faster, just how we had a difference in the way we calculated the time of restoring the system using Acronis (version 11) :hihi:

Thank you.

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition

I downloaded AVG Anti-Virus after prompted to do so at start-up, it was free & mine looks to be the full version.

I've had the paid for version of AVG Internet Security Suite ( Version 8 ) now for around 6 weeks but the free one has just been released.

AVG Antivirus 8 is not exactly the same as AVG Free because the paid for version now includes full antivirus and antispyware/anti root-kit all together whereas the free one is just antivirus I believe.

The new paid for version of AGVIS is great, it runs quickly and never slows the system down so I'm sure that is the same for the free version too!

Never experienced any problems with AVG 7.5 or any of the previous versions,
but I'm having problems with version 8.0 :(

What is the problem m&p?

What is the problem m&p?
Thanks for asking me Space, but I have it sorted now.
It was to do with allowing certain programs to run,
m&p :thumbsup:

Well I'm fifty years older than Savannah2 - but not much slower it seems ;)

Sorry I think you are wrong Version 8 was not free

Version 7.5 is free. Version 8 that you had to pay for has been released from TODAY for free

I think you may have got it wrong Alan, and cgksheff is correct.

There are 2 versions of AVG 8.0

One is the free version which is now being offered, and the other is the paid for version 8.
You are NOT in fact now getting something for free, that you previously had to pay for.
What you are getting is a trimmed and stripped down version of the paid for AVG 8

Essentially all it is is an update of AVG 7.5 Free edition.

the only part of version 8 is the first 30 days you will all find out that it is a free trial but it does is only give you 30 days free

Well I'm fifty years older than Savannah2 - but not much slower it seems ;)

Are you!!? Gosh! I didn't realise you was 69....that is sweet. :)

does it get rid of spware in your pc

The new version af AVG is out (version eight) and it can be downloaded from here:
