Without a doubt that AVG Antivirus is one of the most popular antivirus program thanks to its free version. 2 months ago, AVG released version 8 for its products but the free version still remained at version 7.5. Today, they finally released AVG Anti-Virus Free 8.0, the latest version of the AVG’s popular and widely-used free security software, which now also come with anti-spyware and safe-searching utilities.

If you’re using AVG Anti-Virus 7.5 free edition or do not have any antivirus at all, I’d advice you to download and install the free AVG Anti-Virus 8.0 because the latest version incorporates protection against spyware through a new combined anti-virus and anti-spyware engine. Remember that AVG Free 8.0 is intended for personal and non-commercial use on single computers running Windows 2000, XP or Vista.
AVG Anti-Virus Free 8.0 provides basic protection against viruses and spyware, together with the safe-searching component of the company’s patent-pending LinkScanner® technology, incorporated into the new AVG Security Toolbar. The Free product does not include the proactive safe-surfing (“drive-by download†protection) of the full LinkScanner module that is included in the commercial AVG products, nor the protection against hackers, keyloggers, spam, phishing attacks, and malicious file downloads that can come through instant messaging and attachments from seemingly friendly sources.
Here is what the new AVG Anti-Virus 8.0 Free Edition looks like.

The installer also installed AVG Security Toolbar on both Internet Explorer and Firefox.

I usually only post one article a day but today is an exception because I’ve been monitoring AVG’s website for the release of AVG Anti-Virus 8.0 free edition as I wanted to be the first to inform you about it. The file size of the installer is really huge (46.1 MB) So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and download the new AVG Anti-Virus 8.0 Free Edition from the link below!

i need this atntivirsu sowftwer becuas my computer is full virus ciao
free avg products for 3 months
haaken: thank you, ut the free version of avira doesn’t protect against email viruses :(
gt use Avira Antivir 8 Free its has the best engine, light on the system and fast at scanning. much better than AVG.
IMHO AVG 8.0 is too slow compared to AVG 7.5, expecially on single core CPUs.
With my dual core Athlon BE-2350 it slows down the windows experience when I explore folders with a lot of big executable files (i.e. the folder in which I store the installation files of my favourite programs)
I’m looking for a new antivirus… It should be freeware and should scan for incoming e-mails.
sorry for my english
hi!
Really great news from you. tnx a lot.
hi raymond.. thanks for the information :)
hi Raymond ! does AVG 8.0 eat a lots of memory ???
Isn’t the large file size due to the inclusion of the antispyware databases? Over on Wilders they say this is running smoothly.
Then also win vista is almost bloatware
Dear Raymond,
Thanks for the info. I use 7.5 AVG and am glad to hear about 8.0 . I would be very pleased if you would do a review of 8.0.
Also, please do a post about ‘virtualization technology’.
Thanks

Thank you Raymond I will down load for my frend because i used kaspersky
avira 8 is far more better than this
dam, i hope the min. requirements is stil the same
Even though I don’t use AVG, it looks great.
I’m try it… hehehe
Am i the only one that find that it wont connect to the server to connect? Ive switched off firewalls and still wont work. Bug? or not?
Thanks Raymond. I use Avira AntiVir Personal edition 8 (It’s FREE also!). Anyone using the same AV software? What can we say comparing these 2 software?
does avg 8 need a license
thx for the information Raymond
hm…
aww ;_;
what a shame… i was excited because i thought it looked really good, oh well, you can’t have everything.
thanks. after installing it i do feel the system a bit heavier, specially when i open it or try to scan
@ali: Bloatware is software that has a lot of features — which forces the program to have a bigger file size and eats up more memory.
bloatware = Software that provides minimal functionality while requiring a disproportionate amount of diskspace and memory.
bloatware, what does it mean?
Totally agree with you Jcym. Many useful software has became bloatware after a major update.
I like AVG and have used it for years but 8 looks as if it has turned into major bloatware if the install is that big. I thought it bad enough when the 7.5 setup turned in at 27MB, but 46MB is ridiculous. Unfortunately, I know that eventually they will force 8 on all 7.5 users by stopping updates for 7.5. When that happens I can see I am going to have to look for another AV suite as all I want an AV suite to do is, well, AV with as small a footprint as possible. The other tasks I prefer to use the tools I presently use as I have yet to find a combined suite that is anywhere near as good as individual applications.
Anyway, thanks for the heads-up, time to start looking for a new AV.
nice!
i used to always use avg but i got kaspersky for half a year so when its finished i definatly will go back to it :D
Thanks Raymond for this information.
P.S. What theme are you using, looks cool
Thanks Raymond, But will we be getting regular updates via the antivirus updater or something of that sort or will we have to download it our selves. i asked this because i saw a couple of updates on the site.
