AVG is still free!

I have had several people contact me this week. They have been frantic because their computers told them that AVG (the free antivirus that we love and that is so widely used) needs to be upgraded to the new version (8.0) and that the old version (7.5) will no longer be supported. Most people didn't notice that there is STILL a free version of AVG 8.0, and that they do NOT Have to pay for the new AVG 8.0 if they want to continue to just use the free AVG Antivirus. You may notice, however, that AVG makes it a little more difficult to find the "Free Download" with each upgrade. It's their way of selling more antivirus. For your convenience, I am providing a direct link to the AVG Free Antivirus, Version 8.0. If it's time for you to upgrade, feel free to follow the link and do so. If it's something you want to try, be sure to remove ALL Antivirus programs from your machine, and download and try it. But be sure to remove all old antivirus programs (McAffee, Norton, etc) before you install. Enjoy!
