Topic: AVG 8.0

[Simon]

Could you not have simply stuck to the old version, Dave? 

[Clive]

The old version is no longer supported Simon so the choice is to update or replace. 
Another program they ruined was Ad-Aware.  After using it for many years I had to get rid of the 2007 version because it was  a load of rubbish.  I think the 2008 version is coming  soon so let's hope they have learned their lesson. 

[Simon]

Oh right, didn't realise that, Clive.

I think that you can select which parts you want to install by ticking custom when installing it.

Well I'm not sure about all the questions/problems but I've not had any trouble with it so far....... I'm probably deleting things I shouldn't 

[Simon]

Well, you're still here, that's the main thing.

Feedback on AVG 8.
I had AVG 7.5 antivirus and the 7.5 anti-spyware . Did not like the AVG 8 so have changed to Avira AntiVir personal.
The Avira appears to me to be much better than AVG. I am still using AVG 7.5 anti-spyware.

[Simon]

That sounds like a reasonable combination, JK. 

[Tony]

I think you can still use AVG 7.5, but you have to do Virus Data downloads manually.

I have also noticed AVG 8 slows down my web experience

[David]

Just downloaded AVG 8 and things are ok,have had it a while now and no slowing  of anything.Norton proved very difficult to remove but got there in the end,

[KRO]

i have just downloaded AVG 8.0 and this seems to have slowed my pc, does anybody have any advice / suggestions please..............

[Camstop]

Yes, ditch it 

I had the same problems and ended up going with Avira but there are a host of others.

[Simon]

Can't argue with that!
