AVG 8 Free Available, Not Bad Actually: Apr 26, 12:09am 4 reviews software, computer-security, windows, freeware
http://cybernetnews.com/2008/04/25/avg-8-free-available-not-bad-actually/; I'm not used to thumb down web pages, but this time it was necessary.
I have been using AVG for years, and after reading this review I decided to upgrade to AVG8.
Maybe AVG8 is not bad, but it seems to me definitely worse than the 7.5. Compared to AVG7.5, AVG8 is even more bloated, the interface is less usable, with less possibility to configure; the CPU usage seems increased; the AVG8 process takes "only" 18MB of RAM, while the previous version requires 1-2 MB. I was asked to restart my computer twice, once when installing and once when uninstalling AVG8 (according to the review, no restart was required).

I am now a happy user of AVAST antivirus.
