As a paid user of v7 I've just downloaded v8 suite, quite a lot faster engine than the previous version and more components but what annoys me is if I disable a component it throws a wobbly. I tried to let it know that I'm the boss but I can't find a way of AVG accepting my decision

I just got the free 8.0 for a friend. It's actually quite nice. New, less confusing interface.

8.0 has "everything" included like anti-spyware and firewall as for 7.5... it doesn't they are seperate or you have to buy the one with the firewall.
