http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Vir...-10320142.html

Ive just installed this and it's found loads of adware on my freshly installed Vista. Also when you run searches on search engines "Google" it scans to tell you if the page is safe or not to click on. It will not let you access the page if its a threat to your computer Displaying a message... now AVG 8.0 has built in Anti-spyware link scanner and resident shield Plus a great new interface. Plus this new AVG does not affect system performance.

I use AVG 8, it's gooood. I found that thing that says webpages contains threats etc annoying, I ended up disabling it. :P It popped up everytime I went on a thread on Warez-BB.

Yeah it's an excellent Anti-Virus. Just letting people with older versions of AVG there is a new update.

Ill get that, will it manually install itself?

As i had an update this morning.

No need to remove old avg it just installs over it.

I think i need that, i just downloaded something from themexp.org and it asked me to install about 20 toolbars and 50 popup aps lol.

That's a SLOOOW download link

same lol. i don't really like it, the toolbar is proper annoying... and it says it's scanned over 700,000 files in a few minutes, whereas avg 7.5 scanned only 100,000 in an hour??????????? :S

You had a choice to install the toolbar or not during the setup.

avg is not avli in ubuntu linux :'(

Seems ok, Much faster than 7,5.
I still can't use it though :(
