AVG AntiVirus Expiring

If you use antivirus 7.1 then you will have seen a number of notifications in recent weeks about the need to upgrade to 7.5. The is because AVG have made major changes to their virus engine, which they can't upload to your computer with a normal automatic update.

The information about upgrading to 7.5 has confused a number of users into thinking that they will need to pay for the new version, but don't worry, you can still get a free verson of 7.5 - just follow the instructions on this page.

Incidentally, the commerical version of AVG Internet security offers an all-in-one security solution, which includes spyware protection, spam protection, and a firewall. Spyware protection is available free from Ad-Aware, and a free firewall is available from ZoneLabs, but an all-in-one solution keeps all the protection in a single program.
