AVG Anti-Virus 8.0 Free Edition

    AVG Anti-Virus Free 8.0 provides basic protection against viruses and spyware, together with the safe-searching component of the company’s patent-pending LinkScanner® technology, incorporated into the new AVG Security Toolbar. The Free product does not include the proactive safe-surfing (“drive-by download” protection) of the full LinkScanner module that is included in the commercial AVG products, nor the protection against hackers, keyloggers, spam, phishing attacks, and malicious file downloads that can come through instant messaging and attachments from seemingly friendly sources.

    Here is what the new AVG Anti-Virus 8.0 Free Edition looks like.

    I'm downloading it now. I like version 7 so version 8 should be even better.

    Is anyone noticing they are getting blasted by fake traffic from AVG, as outlined in this Register article?

    I'm just wondering what kind of impact it's having on websites.

    New version has a stupid link checker. If you disable it, it's showing alert icon in system tray all the time.. I had to reinstall with some switches on the command line..
