Install the paid version of AVG....it works better.I use the paid version of AVG7.5. When my subscription expires I will then have to update to AVG8. I've heard some less than complimentary things about AVG8 -- people describing it as "bloatware". Can you confirm any of this?

It is, regrettably.
They added a bunch of stuff that, if all runs, will slow the system to a crawl.
I have most of it shut off because I have a couple of other 'backup' methods for recovery, if necessary.

I do have ver 8.0 on both my desktop and laptop, It works just as well as 7.5.
I'm not noticing any memory hoggish features nor bloated toolbars / offerings.
Works great.
Of coarse, with Vista on my laptop....everything is heaven except for that.
