I downloaded it about 2 months ago and it was only valid for 30 or 45 days - I don't remember the exact number of days. I ran it for a few weeks and it seemed pretty stable. When the time was coming to an end, I uninstalled and went back to 7.5 If it now runs for free into the future I will go back to it Regards    Report

I've used AVG free for years and it has never let me down.   "Life is Short - Forgive Quickly - Love Truly - Laugh Uncontrollably" ............ and get yourself an Apple Mac.    Report

First, it works well on a laptop using Windows XP, no problems so far... But on a laptop with Vista a slightly different story. Before beginning you need to make sure your Vista is up to date. When I then loaded AVG 8 it knocked out my internet security, and after trying different tweeks I could not get it to return. (followed all the AVG forum recommendations). Eventually I returned to 7.5 on this machine. If anyone has any more ideas on how to get it to work properly with Vista and HP totalcare, I will try again. What else do you do when it's raining???    Report

Several more failed attempts & it turned out that it couldn't replace AVG 7.5. So I unloaded that manually & now all is working perfectly. (That's with a now defunct Norton still on my machine, as I daren't try & remove that.) I like the new version, well done Grisoft! friendship warms the heart & heals the soul    Report
