I get a pop-up saying that AVG FREE is ending on 15th January 2007.

What alternatives, FREE alternatives, are there?

 

avast! antivirus software - computer virus, worm and Trojan protection by ALWIL Software is very good Pete

TONY

 

Free alternatives are the new AVG, if you read the pop up screen properly it does tell you this

its just version 7.1 that is expiring, 7.5 is the new one

when you download it, run the install but choose repair

You need new glasses Pete

 

I thought the new one was not FREE??

I do need new glasses then

If its just an update - why do they not just update what I have??? I get critical updates all the time?

 

Cheers mate ....

 

I think people who already have AVG free are entitled to have theirs updated, but new people wont be able to download a free version of 7.5

i think thats why you have to do a repair and not an upgrade or install as such

Now ive upgraded to Vista it keeps asking me for the 7.5 license key which I dont have

 

Free Software Downloads and Software Reviews - Download.com is a good place to search for software some is free, some have limitations but its a good place to try new software

 

You can download 7.5 from the Grisoft website here.

 

no you cant, not the free version anyway

the link doesnt work on the download bit, and the only version listed is the 7.1 version

 

ESET - Essential Security against Evolving Threats

 

I managed to get Free AVG 7.5?? didnt have any problems.

 

Why dont you just pay for it? I seem to remember other threads where you brag about your large salary??? Only a small price to pay for a man of your means!

 

P.S. 7.5 free is available here http://free.grisoft.com/softw/70free...ee_432a861.exe

 

I'm downloading 7.5 off the link I gave now.

Best check your PC for viruses

 

It was grisoft's error saying page not found, not the normal page not found

maybe it doesnt like vista or ie 7

 

Try this link AVG Free Advisor: AVG Anti-Virus Free

you should get the page not found

 

Already got 7.5 seems to scan quicker than 7.1 but could be imagining it.
On the pop up click on the link on the bottom left and it takes you to the download page for 7.5

 

ive already got 7.5 had it for a while

 

http://free.grisoft.com/softw/70free...ee_432a861.exe

Thats the link to 7.5 FREE edition.

I bought the full version which gives you more. It was only 88USD

 

As said it is available free. Ive been running V7.5 for a couple of weeks now. User interface a bit more polished, seems slightly faster too.

Proby.

 

When I installed AVG on my machine, it simply wouldn't come up! Had to do a system restore.

Hey ho

Geezer

 

The reason I have wealth is because I do NOT spend money if I don't have to MUPPET!

Somehow my HD was wiped a couple of months ago - and I had to re-load AVG (maybe it sees me as a new customer, even though I had AVG for years!?)

 

As everyone who has read the message properly has said, it's avgs way of forcing a version upgrade on everyone, 'tis still free.

 

You've got to cut down on the caffeine mate

 

just got it cheers

 

Indeed! I'll put in back in now

 

Loaded it up now

Its put 2 Trojan Horses and 1 Virus in the Vault - does that mean they are safe now?

 

AVG is ****e.
