I love people who vote and don't say why.

Why would he need to upgrade to the paid version of AVG 8.0 when AVG 7.5 is still great, still has updates, and is free?

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

guys how much memory does the new version consume?

It's you! Hey man!

You should get 8, So far, it's a lot better than 7.5!

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

i have AVG 8.0 installed on my Vista partition, looks better than 7.5 but im not really sure how to compare them...

Yes i agree.

Yes

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.

 

[ducis]

7.5 is just as good as 8 but it lacks that extra stuff so i said say with 7.5

 

[Dropkickmurphys]

so atm 8.0 is just 7.5 with spyware, firewall etc... ?
