I use AVG on my windows partition. I checked this out and although you can still get AVGFree as a new version 8.0, many people are having all sorts of problems with it. AVGFree has always been trouble free for me so I am assuming this is a tactic by AVG to force users of the free version to pay. Therefore, I have tried out Avast and have installed it. It is not quite as user friendly but, has better functionality than AVG. I have also replaced the AVG anti spyware program with Spybot.
