285054 2004-10-27 02:43:00 It appears that AVG 6 will not be supported from December. I see that they offer a free trial only of V7 - am I reading it right & there will not be a full free version available?

285056 2004-10-27 03:54:00 No need to dispair , as there are still 2 free AV's out there.

Avast (www.avast.com) and Antivir (http://www.free-av.com/)

285057 2004-10-27 04:01:00 It is our pleasure to introduce the second BETA release of the completely new generation of AVG Free Edition .





Looks like its free to me,only because they referred to it as free though . If they get their marketing advice from isp's they will offer it as free,get you to agree to a contract then start sending bills for abuse of the system .

285058 2004-10-27 04:07:00 Answer to solve the confusion:

Last time I checked, the PAID version of AVG 7 was out of beta and had been fully released. The FREE version of AVG 7 is still in beta, but will be released FREE OF CHARGE before the end of the year (not sure exactly when though, the date has changed a few times).

285059 2004-10-27 04:11:00 I see it the same way as 45South and Bletch but Major Geeks (www.majorgeeks.com) appear not to. :|

Guess we will just have to wait and see.

285061 2004-10-27 19:16:00 I'm also running the free beta version with no probs so far. 45South (4769)
285062 2004-10-27 20:04:00 I'm trying to figure out, how to get rid of the "splash screen" on startup. I know I did it on V6.0 Also fooled me a moment ago, when it did an auto update. Must delve into the settings.
