Is this now free indefinitely??. 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

Nell, I think that you probably downloaded a trial version rather than the free download.
I've used AVG free for years and it has never let me down.
Followed you advice and downloaded the free version. just one or two points to anyone else trying to do this.
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???
I had problems loading it onto my laptop that's Vista. First failed attempt was caused by a missing patch, so loaded that. 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!
