The downside is that if you don't upgrade to the paid version of AVG 8, you lose the email protection after the first 30 days. This allowed a buddy's system to get hit by a particularly nasty version of AntispywareXP-2008. I never was able to completely rip it out (it had installed at least 4 different "phone home" trojans), so I wound up just wiping the disk and starting fresh.
They're on Avast now.

That is not true. The email virus protection continues to work after 30 days.
That 30 days is for the anti-spam feature that is in the Pro version, IIRC.

That is true of the trial version of AVG8.
The free version email scanner is not limited.
