[Old Article] AVG Anti-Virus extends version 7.5 updates deadline

If you haven’t yet upgraded to the new AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0, you’ve likely seen the message pictured below come up on your computer. Despite earlier notices that updates will no longer be available as of May or June, AVG is now announcing that the end of updates for version 7.5 is the end of 2008 August 31, 2008.

We recommend upgrading to the new Free Edition 8.0 as mentioned in this earlier blog post as soon as possible. The new free version includes added anti-spyware protection as well as an anti-virus, a more user-friendly interface, less obtrusive updates and more comprehensive scanning without slowing down your computer.
