    *End of Support for AVG 6.0
    Grisoft announces the end of support for AVG version 6.0 effective on December 31, 2004 for technical reasons. This version has been available since 1999. It's structure does not allow for further improvements planned for version 7 nor improvements of detection techniques expected to come in the future.

    End of support means we will no longer provide program updates or Virus Database updates for version 6.0 and therefore, within days, this version will not protect against new virus outbreaks!

    Current AVG 6.0 users should upgrade to AVG 7.0. Information on upgrading to version 7.0 can be found at http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_upgrade.php.

    Nick,
    Do you know if they are going to offer a free personal version like they did with v6?

    I am gonna try to save a few pennies to go with the pain version now. I love this program & if I have to pay to continue using it then I guess I will have to.

    I dumped AVG a while ago and went to Avast when they could not provide timely updates.

    Avast is a better program altogether. Just wanted to know for general knowlege if they were offering a free AVG v7 as well.

    Hi All
    Having spoken to AVG"s Head office this mourning the advice given to me is to continue using avg 6 until the end of the year. Further details will be posted on there website in due course
