*the free version is still 6.0:(

yeah that is one set back but then i feel may be that is the cost we have to pay to use it for free...though i m happy for them that they atlast won a VB 100% award.

I'm just hoping they upgrade the free version to 7.0 in the furure after they have made a little money off of this release

Don't look so sad felas, as U can update your Free Ver6 to 7 standards, and noticed some other tools, virus removal types, that is, that may be helpfull as well, which are on the freebie list from what I could see some hours ago, when I updated my 6 to 7 ...... :cheers:

yeah you can upgrade your free Ver 6 to Ver 7 without any charge but i think it is just for the trial period i.e. upto 30th September, 2003 after which you have to either buy it or uninstall Ver 7.
Or have you found something great :confused:
i am interested...

To date, the free version six has kept me all safe and snuggly.

I see no reason to fix/upgrade/change in any way.
An unblemished record speaks to me louder than a number:thumb:

It then goes on to say that you will be sent a license on Sept 15, and so that will be as Mr C stated, that you won't have it for free for long anywy ..... Nothing wrong with ver 6 anyways, but I want to upgrade to include all my machines ......

Mr. C
actually Ver 7 has got them a VB 100% award which they have been failing to get till now. they must have made some improvement in their tech that helped them get it. i just wanted to get the upgraded product...but installing and then un-installing is too much of pain, so i will stick with Ver 6.0 :cheers:

AVG just gave another reason for users to switch to their product.
they have made a change to their core program that makes the size of the updates considerably smaller.
it might not effect people who are on broadband but is a great thing for people on slow connections. the latest update file that i downloaded was 21K compared to more than 1300K i used to d/l earlier.
things just keep getting better?
