AVG Antivirus Free remaining free?

  • Recently I received a message from AVG Grisoft informing me the free edition of their software will cease. I really like AVG Antivirus and do not want to lose the software. Can you recommend any other antivirus programs?

    As far as I am aware, AVG are continuing to offer their AVG Antivirus Free edition. The email you received may have been informing you that support for AVG Antivirus 7.1 Free will cease on 18th February 2007. However, Grisoft are offering a new version of their free antivirus solution (AVG Antivirus 7.5 Free). This new version can be downloaded from the AVG Antivirus Free website at: free.grisoft.com . If you are still running version 7.1 then I strongly suggest you update to the latest version to remain protected. You can find out which version you are running at the moment by opening the AVG Control Center and go to the ‘Information’ menu > ‘About AVG Free’.

Hi there. If this is the first time you are posting a comment it will not appear immediately, but needs to be approved. This is necessary in order to combat comment spam. However, once you have submitted a comment (which is subsequently approved) you do not need to go through this process again - the site remembers who you are and auto-approves your comments. Nifty eh? Anyway, sorry about the inconvenience that this may cause for your first comment post.
