AVG Free version 7 is now available for download from HERE

and here
Downloaded and installed it last night, a lot better than the old version and you can use the scheduler to change when it scans and checks for downloads now so you can pick the times that suit you.

The new version is just a straight forward download and install this time, no serial numbers sent by email or registration required. AVG has yet to let me down on any of the PC's that I have installed it on and that includes one that was prone to virus infestation due to a click happy user

Should previous be unistalled before downloading and installing version 7

Thanks for advice.

No - the new version uninstalls the old version during the process

I could do that with the version 6 free version anyway

Really? I never really looked in the settings too deeply on the older version but I can't remember being able to specify a fixed time to check for updates

I know you could adjust the time it scanned the pc but didn't realise you could change the update time.

Well I installed it in my main (game) machine and it seems ok

I've got norton 2005 on my laptop and fileserver... My missis still has norton 2003 on her computer

It's in Control Centre -> Update Manager - I've just put v7 on so I can't tell, you can do it though.

v7 is ace, works in t-bird...

the new version is not as fast as the old, but maybe that is because it does a more thorough scan.

Thanks for the link

installation went a dream }:ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â¬)
got it set the way i like it
integrates with my mailer and with mailwasher as did v6,
no problems with a quick test either.
joined their forum too.

Hello again,

I had a look at the new support forum for AVG version 7 free and noticed that quite a few people with ZoneAlarm have been having problems with AVG e-mail scanner.

I have ZoneAlarm free and wondered if anyone else here has had any problems with AVG 7 free/ZoneAlarm free and AVG e-mail scanning.

I am eager to try AVG 7 but wanted to check re any problems experienced beforehand.

Thanks

I downloaded it last night and I have had no problems at all and it has not even conflicted with Sophos and Zone Alarm.
