I am really no good on computers when they ask me to do something that I do not know about!!! I have the free edition of AVG on my computer but it keeps telling me that from May 31st the 7.5 will be upgraded and that I should get the 8.0 but it looks like you have to pay for that! Does anyone know what I should press to make it go away and still protect my computer?:blush:

Ann if you follow this link AVG8 is FREE HERE (http://free.grisoft.com/ww.download?prd=afe) just download the free version.

I've just checked and my version is 7.5.1.43 but there is no mention on mine of an upgrade on 31st May. Sorry - that's not much help :erm:

Thanks Barry. So if I down load that from that site will the 7.5 version just go away or do I need to do something with it?:blush: Can you tell I do not know about computers and DH is away?:blush::blush:

It's not just an upgrade. They will be stopping the support for the earlier versions.

Thanks for looking. This page has been popping up for about a week now and I just keep pressing the do later button!!!

My AVG usually just tells me that it needs upgrading, I press the button and it gets on withit. Always made quite clear that it is a FREE upgrade :wavey:
