Well it's just updated for the second time today and having just looked at the AVG forum they've extended the deadline AGAIN! It's now the end of next month.....

More dithering than our wonderful government!

AVG8
 

I have the free version, every update it asks for the computer to be restarted, is this others experience ? 7.5 didn't do this.

EErrrrrr no. mine updates as 7.5 did.

Mine also updates normally.

I've just had the most unusual problem with AVG 8. 2 days ago Firefox 3 lost all its bookmarks (I run XP Pro) and wouldn't reload from file. I reloaded Firefox but no joy. Funnily enough Flock was OK (Flock is based on Firefox). I tried all sorts of virus checks and malware cleaners and the such like. Still nothing. Today Flock gave up the ghost. I went searching and found a rather tenuous link that gave problems with Firefox using AVG 8. I completely uninstalled the AVG, Firefox and Flock and rebooted. Reloaded Firefox and Flock and hey presto all is now good. I have other anti virus software so I think AVG 8 will stay off my laptop. This may help others if the same problem occurs.
