Have some friends at home whose computer I had put AVG 7.0 on, as beforehand they were using Windows Live Onecare.

Point is I got an email from them as they have got an alert regarding the upgrading, and the strong wording about updating has them nervous. They are on dialup so a straight download is not wanted obviously. Also I have heard bad things about AVG trying to upsell if you do a direct download.

What I was wondering is does the latest PC World have AVG 8 on the cover DVD? I do not have time to get to a mahazine shop in the next wee while and ideally I can just tell them to buy the magazine. Otherwise it will be me downloading and posting to them on a cd.

Cheers in advance,

GorCh

672599 2008-05-26 08:02:00 If it's 7.5 that they are using, tell them to stick with it as it will be supported with virust database updates till 31 December in spite of the notice saying 31 May. This info came from Avg Technologies which is the new name for what used to be called Grisoft. jinja_thom (4306)
