TSGL: AVG 7.5

[Lee Bunyard]

I've been using the free AVG 7.5 version on my laptop running XP and 
it's been downloading updates without any problem.  I have NOT received 
any messages indicating that a new version was available, however after 
reading these posts, I just downloaded the free AVG 8.0 version and it 
downloaded and installed just fine.  FWIW--I'm using the free Avast AV 
product on my desktop running Vista Home Premium.  At the time I bought 
the new desktop last October, AVG had not been updated to run properly 
with Vista and, altho it would install and work OK in some respects, it 
would not scan incoming email properly.  I confirmed this shortcoming 
with AVG Tech Support and switched to Avast, which does work fine with 
Vista.  I didn't check to see if the new version of AVG will now work 
with Vista, but I like Avast better anyway so will stay with it.
