AVG no longer provides updates for AVG 7. If you have a paid version of 7.5 you still get updates.
I have learned from my consulting work that 7.5 is no longer adequate for people inclined to browse unsafe sites and click OK on dubious offers. I’ve had to restore two machines for office workers who strayed from business.
It really takes a tough and up-to-date AV system to protect people who authorize downloads at certain kinds of sites.
Spyware Blaster can block thousands of sites and ad servers simply by putting them in the restricted zone. Spyware Blaster doesn’t have a program running in the background.
Spyware Guard also by javacoolsoftware is the realtime component of Spyware Blaster.
Also, AVG 7.5free is still being updated till the end of the year.
