Customer Reviews

Soooo Much Nicer than 7.5
I just bought 7.5 from Amazon and a few days later noticed that 8.0 was available. As the other reviews said, the upgrade to v8.0 was free! Just follow the link from the Help button in 7.5 and plug in your old licence number to get a new one.

Upgrade went smoothly on my Vista laptop. I had one failed installation on the XP desktop. After disabling 7.5, the installation wizard carried on successfully, removing 7.5 and installing 8.0 without a glitch.

It's soooo much better looking than 7.5. It looks modern and modular, not clunky and amateurish like previous AVG versions. It also reads across all the settings (schedules etc.) over all pc users rather than having to set them individually in each user account.

It looks great. Hopefully it'll do it's jo well too.

This is a fantastic buy.
For security, AVG is "TOPS".To cut a long story short. I bought a new laptop which had McAfee security on it, after 6 months it caught a virus, so I changed to Norton, but still coudn't get it sorted out. I was pulling my hair out, when a PC technician suggested AVG, so I installed. Fantastic, it cleared my laptop with the first test, I have never looked back. This package is for three PC's for 2 years, and works out at about 4 quid for each computer per year, and the service is great, new virus checks are made each morning after I switch on, and I have had no trouble whatsoever. A fantastic buy, and a fantastic security. BUY IT AND INSTALL IT, you won't be sorry.

Impressed
I'm impressed by AVG. I bought their Internet Security Home Edition version 7.5 in September 2007. I called their UK Helpline (0844 894 1000) today, and was told that I could upgrade for free to their recently-launched version 8.

I downloaded the update from www.avg.co.uk/download and soon had the new version installed (it detected I already had version 7.5). I am currently running the system scan which seems to be several times faster than 7.5.

Of course, the ultimate solution is to buy a Mac which doesn't need anti-virus software, but if, like me, you still have a couple of Windows PCs you want to keep running, I recommend AVG. Their products seem good, and their service reasonable.
