Avg 8.0
With AVG 8.0 released, does that mean there is no more free version available? Only a 30 day free trial version before having to purchase a subscription.

You won't like AVG 8.0. See the "Bailing on AVG (?)" thread . . .

There are complaints about the free version, too, in that other thread. It's incredibly slow scanning and slowed down my computer so much that I bailed on it.

Unfortunately, 7.5 is still slower and a bigger system hog than NOD32. I continue to be well pleased with Eset's antivirus software; the improvement in overall performance is quite noticeable.

If you're happy with that, by all means, continue to use it.

Not too hard to do. I have parlayed such rebates into owning several AV/IS products.
