CHanGE AVG Free Edition 8.0.135

Improvements & fixes
Remake of internal communication to eliminate undesired program status appearance (hibernation, sleep mode, cold restart, ...).
Display of the system tray icon representing running scan (that can be paused or stopped from the context menu).
Added option to ignore the status of a component via context menu in the AVG main interface: the system tray icon then reports OK status even if a component is in error status.
System restore point is created before launching a program update.
Improved EML file processing including scanning of user mailboxes.
RAM requirements optimization.
New design of the system tray pop-up window, and more information provided.
Improved statistics of detected objects in Email Scanner and resident Shield.
To eliminate AVG collisions with OS, only minimum drivers are installed in safe mode; then it is possible to launch on-demand scanning from the command line only, and a new GUI dialog has been added to ease the scan configuration.
Added option of restoring a file from the Virus Vault to the original folder even if the folder has been removed.
Added option of deleting the Resident Shield and Email Scanner history.
Improved stability and design of GUI.
Improved detection of former Lotus Notes/MS Exchange plugins installations during AVG setup.
Fixed crash during the update process.
Fixed problems with detection of some external USB DVD/CD drives.
Fixed problem with inactive components after update.
Fixed possible corruption of transferred data when the Web Shield is enabled.
Fixed a possible crash caused by the Web Shield.
Fixed problem with switching to small font size in Microsoft Internet Explorer after closing AVG User Interface.
Fixed repetitive backup of scanned files by Vista incremental backup service.
Improved parsing of Google advertising URLs.

Update procedure will run in two steps. Restart may be required after update.

is this avg better than previous version??

already update to latest version. thx for update

i dont really like avg..
because u have to update it very often..

i've just installed this version..however,i've experienced a slow startup...usually,it takes around 1 min to load the startup.but after install this version,it takes around 2 to 3 minutes to startup...

This version 8 is a bit resource hunger, it remind me Norton Antivirus (NAV). NAV use to be good but they add too much thing into and make the whole system slowing down.

Anyone know where can I download the last version of AVG 7?

I need it for some Win 98 machines.
AVG 8 don't support Win 98 anymore :-(

u should disable the firewall by AVG.. just use the window firewall

even with the latest update, my system slow down is still quite noticable compared to the avg 7 ed,KAV 8 and NOD 32.

for me, i still like version 7.5 more than this new one version 8.

no wonder my com feel a bit laggy when i started to use avg 8

i don't like AVG...
It's troublesome..
Prefer others, like avast, adware...
