Craig 6703 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I'm presuming you're using an evaluation copy of the full product? Uninstall it and install the totally free version from http://free.grisoft.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 It's still going to be free, it's just that they're not doing updates for v7 any more. Simply download v8, install and stop fretting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31641 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I noticed they've made the free version of AVG8 more difficult to find when you go to upgrade but if you have a look for it it's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fop 1 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I've just done my weekly update of v7.5 today ? 8 is quite a big improvement over 7.5 (but yes the cunning bastards have made the free version of 8 very hard to find), although whether it's better than Avast. Actually does anyone know a decent bit of anti-virus software that doesn't come loaded with all the memory resident stuff that tends to come as standard these days? i.e. one that just runs when you tell it too and doesn't have 3 processes sitting there all the time waiting for something to happen.

snakehips 0 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I noticed they've made the free version of AVG8 more difficult to find when you go to upgrade but if you have a look for it it's there. I found this out yesterday. I was downloading it for an old pc I'm trying (unsuccessfully, so far) to resurrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, you're reet there, lad Methinks it needs a new h.drive; now I have to decide whether to fork out for one (h.d) or bin the whole lot.
