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"    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

30/04/2008, 16:40 cassis Joined on 28/12/2007 Manhattan and Glasgow Posts 309 Re: AVG (vers.8.0) available now Biggest difference is that AVG AV version 8 includes Antispyware - before you had to install each separately.  The separate free AVG Antispyware and AVG AV 7.5 will shortly cease to be supported so you'll HAVE to install version 8. Loaded AVG AV 8.0 a couple of days ago on a PC with Vista.  With Vista you need to manually uninstall the existing version 7.5 - just use the "Add or Remove Programmes" Windows feature as usual. No problem when I loaded version 8 except it uninstalled AVG Antirootkit in the process.  This is no longer supplied free by AVG so I could not reinstall it. I could not find another free antirootkit that worked with Vista so I've dumped  AVG in favour of Avast.  Avast includes Antivirus, Antirootkit and Antispyware all in one. If you're having problems installing AVG 8.0 (or anything else, for that matter) on Vista make sure you are installing it as administrator.  This involves right clicking on the exe file and then clicking "Run as Administrator" (or similar - I don't have the exact English wording as my Vista is French).  I'm told you should ALWAYS install downloads like this as administrator if your OS is Vista,  otherwise some parts of the application may not be loaded.  This is not the same as being logged in as administrator, BTW.
