"First, AVG has announced [2] that they have extended the life of the old V7.5 until the end of 2008 rather than the end of May. That's good news and takes the pressure off AVG Free 7.5 users to make a decision.
Second, I keep on getting reports about AVG V8 bugs and how it's making users' PCs run more slowly.
My advice at this stage is to stay away from V8 until AVG has sorted out the problems. And they will; I recall a similar situation when V7 was introduced, but in the end V7 became a very solid product."
