Installing AVG

I am trying to installing AVG Antivirus 7.5 for Windows, which is meant to be Free, however it's asking for the License Number during the installation.

What's with that?

 

no idea, that is weird.

I just U/G from 7.1 to 7.5 w/out incident.

 

used to be free I guess, but just went to the "products" page of their website and each and one of them has a "buy" button beside it :|

 

I think I figured it. AVG download from download.com isn't the trial, or something is up dunno. Trial install from there website supplies the license info.

 

you need to go back to the AVG site to download the free verison
just search google with "free avg" and you will find that page. The download link is at the bottom of the page

 

right, I bet the DL.com version might be like the "pro" setup where they give you all the adders not included in the free version.

much like the difference between Zonealarm and Zonealarm Pro

 

I downloaded and now using the new free version of AVG.
Had no problems going from the previous version to the new version.

It still is free for personal use.

 

pretty slick - I like the reporting dialog better in 7.5

what kinda torqs me off is that the previous version didn't alert me to the new one being available!!

 

Hmmmm....
They sent me an email!
So there, next time use a real email address to register.

 

AVG rocks. I have been using the paid version on my main machine and the free version on my laptop. Looks like 7.5 is a major upgrade - I have been playing with it for a couple of weeks (in beta and now). No problems that I can see.

 

I think I did! I just don't remember which one

either that or I've had to change it 7 times since then on account of the 7.2 metric tons of junk mail!

 

I give up, this crap won't install for me.

 

sorry man!

search for AV threads on here, there were 2 recently about AV SW.

I remember Avast being mentioned as a good alt to AVG.

 

what do u guys think of AVG? is it really up to par with Norton??

 

Is Norton really up to par? Not what I hear from some techie friends.

 

I switched to AVG Free after having my comp ruined by various other paid AV programs. It works like a charm.

 

Wow - people still use Norton?

Yeah - switch to AVG. I have been using it since 2002.

 

AVg is the best. If you download it then select run, rather than save it and open it, you will not have to mess about with any validation codes etc.

 

the correct version URL: free.grisoft.com/softw/70free/setup/avg75free_430a828.exe

 

I have AVG 7.1. I wants to upgrade it to UPDATE. I have downloaded Windows: 7.1.394 from http://www.grisoft.cz/softw/70/update/u7f394ax.bin. This is a bin fin. Any one can help me how to run it to update my current version.
