Exclamation AVG Free No More after JAn 15, 2007.

I know allot of people use the AVG Free, thought this would peek some interest:

GRISOFT is announcing a new version of the AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. This new 7.5 version with improved performance and full compatibility with the latest Windows Vista version is available. Users that are using AVG Free 7.1 will be provided with a specific dialog, within the next few weeks, with the opportunity to choose the right option fulfilling their needs. AVG Free 7.1 version will be discontinued on 15th of Jan 2007.

I'm assuming there'll be a free version of the 7.5 but realize assumption is the mother of all invention, opps, I mean screw ups."

To save any problems uninstall your current AVG, download & install the new
version:

AVG Free Advisor: Installation files & documentation

I have already installed it and know this works fine on XP, 2K & 98 SE2
