I guess many of you have been getting a warning that AVG 7.1 is going to be discontinued in January 2007 and you can download the new 7.5 version which costs ?????

Ok for those who haven't updated yet, here is the link for you to download the new free 7.5 version.

I have downloaded it and it works fine.

However, there is a way of doing it (so I am informed).

Firstly through the new version uninstall the old version as follows.

Run the AVG Free Edition 7.5 Setup program after downloading it.
Click "Next >" on the AVG "Welcome!" screen
Click "Accept" on the "License Agreement on Use of an AVG Free Edition" screen
Select "Uninstall" on the "Select Setup Type" screen and click "Next >"
Select "Restart the computer now" (pre-selected by the program automatically) and click "OK" on the "Installation Complete!" screen to restart your computer and complete the installation

When you are back then

Run the AVG Free Edition 7.5 Setup program again
Click "Next >" on the AVG "Welcome!" screen
Click "Accept" on the "License Agreement on Use of an AVG Free Edition" screen
Then folow your nose to install the new version.

When it is installed search for further updates and once that is done, run a complete scan of your computer.

You should be set up again. Good luck.
