Yes, I’ve used it for many years and absolutely love it. It’s worry-free, install and forget. Genius. Unfortunately, it’s not free anymore (we knew it couldn’t last) and I keep getting a popup warning to upgrade to version 8.0 ($60). I’m trying to decide whether or not to upgrade or go back to one of the other anti-virus packages.
Are you sure you can’t go back to an older version of AVG but still get the latest virus definitions - all for free? I remember hearing that there’s some workaround and that it still is free. I could be wrong, though...
I believe there is an AVG 8 free edition, too. Look about their site a bit...
AVG 8.0 can be downloaded free. They aren’t going to make that obvious to 7.5 users, but it’s not hard to find.
I’m pretty sure that the web safety checker is optional when you install.
It’s still free, though I admit it is not obvious that there is a free version if you visit there website or look at the upgrade popup warning.
Go to www.cnet.com and to the downloads section. Look for the most popular downloads and there at the top will be the free AVG version.
I have 8.0 AVG free edition. Can’t remember where I got it? but it took a little time to find. Good luck
my version 8 is still free. the site is somewhat misleading. if you look hard enough you will find the link to the free version.
they have a free version of version 8!
