Version 8 required. Grisoft has announced that version 7.5 will be automatically deleted after May 30, 2008. I think this new version is ok.

Well, if you want to talk about bloat, lol i removed norton from a machine and put this on, and the machine ran about 10x faster, it was an old xp with only 128mb of ram (the machine was virtually un-usable with norton). This works fine as long as you do a custom install and uncheck the un-needed junk. And disable daily scans. Would be better if they just left out the toolbar and email component, it would probably have cut down its download size a bit. All in all, for free, i think this is pretty decent.

Upgraded from AVG 7.5 to 8.0 not totally convinced by AVG 8, the interface is a big improvement (pic above is 7.5)I had to turn the link scanner off by disabling the AVG safesearch add-on in firefox and IE because I use McAfee SiteAdvisor and linkscanner didn't work. Download some test viruses from eicar.com and it detected all of them but only after downloading them. Not bad for a free Anti-virus but I'm going to try AntiVir.
