OT - new to AVG, have a question

I'm getting a message that my AVG 7.5 (free) will not be supported after May31st and I have to upgrade to AVG 8. I'm not familiar with the ways and means of the makers of AVG. Does this mean AVG Free will no longer be available after the end of the month?

What is AVG?

Sunny just curious

It's a free anti-virus program that does a really good job, and nothing else. It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, just a few useful ones. And it doesn't interfere with other software the way Norton does.

Karen, I use AVG on the Windows installation on my Mac. My DT, who is much more knowledgeable about Windows than I'll ever be, told me to continue using 7.5, because version 8 has some serious problems; apparently more and more people on the forum for AVG are going back to

7.5. In addition, that May 31 date is incorrect; they're going to continue supporting this version until the end of December, by which time we can hope that version 8 will be much better. :)

Ummm ... I'm not exactly sure, since I didn't have to do it. But I think that you just download it from . That's where I got it, though I never had to go back to a previous version.

That looks like it! I'll just have to uninstall the new one, then download this one.
