Never knew this till tonight..was always using the free 7.5 version of it.

But there is a new free version out to download 8.0..just though it may be useful to some peeps.

It works fairly well for a freebee....

[todd1970]

The new icon in the tray is very pretty also.

[ploggy]

I've had pop-ups telling me that AVG 8.0 is out for ages, but just kept ignoring them. Didn't realise there was a free version available.

Thanks for the heads-up!

The search engine bit with the green ticks warning of threats on certain pages is not bad for a freebie...still doesnt cope with java console virus and malaware pops 100% though,, cant expect the world for nowt i guess.

Just a little word of warning about AVG version 8, it has a habit of misreporting a virus called WIN32/HEUR from quite a few uninfected files which if healed or placed in the vault can lead to windows going Tits up.

Just a prewarning incase you end up with windows unable to find exe's or run anything from your desktop.....(luckily i backed up everything before i installed it)...oooops

[cashbox1]

[BWB]

use it in conjunction with treatfire (it's free)

ThreatFire AntiVirus - Behavioral Virus and Spyware Protection

thanks all of ya i've had pop up everyday about it but not updated it as there is still some little probs with it so for now i'l stay with 7.5 as me bro a com technition and he even stayin with 7.5 so he knows something i dont lol just thought i'd let ya know

[todd1970]

Anyone know how to get it to autoupdate itself ?

When i had 7.5 installed,as soon as my PC booted up it would download the latest virus database..without me touching anything..and then load the database automatically into the progam.

Seems 8.0 has a habit of just sitting there untill you manually click the tray icon and check for updates.

Been through all the options...cant see where it is.

Open the interface

Double click the update manager


Above 'save changes' is the daily time to set.

*edit* User Guide attached....page 43 I think it was.

Once you have entered the serial run the updates, it may say after this that the serial is out of date but all you do is re enter it and away you go.

You will now have the full version 7.5 licensed until 2112

Yeh, I've got that - if you get any warning notices about 'surely you know the seriousness of using a blacklisted key' or bollocks like that, just ignore it.

Sometimes they give you a deadline, and force you to visit their site to 'go legal' every time you check for updates, but just close it down each time, they go away again in the end...
