AVG Version 8
I had a pop-up from AVG saying I need to download Version 8 to be up to date. I went to the link and found out I can have the best protection if I pay something like $59.99 a year for the service.
The reason I use AVG is because it is freeware. Are there any other freeware antivirus programs out there? Here is the URL of the pop-up from AVG. Thanks. http://campaign.grisoft.com/ww.speci...02a-free78cnv/ |

Re: AVG Version 8
Your link is for the Pro version. There is a free version of AVG 8.0 at http://campaign.grisoft.com/ww.speci...02b-free78cnv/
Or if you want to switch to another antivirus, replacing AVG, try Avira Antivir (highly recommended freeware).

Re: AVG Version 8
Hi ikofun -
Personally, I prefer Avira as part of a free, multi-layered solution, but you'll find many here who stick by AVG even as it changes. At the bottom of the link you give, you'll see there's a link to AVG 8 Free. Quote:
Edit: Heh, koala posted while I was grabbing a link for Avira
