Avoid AVG 8!

I just "upgraded" from AVG 7.5 to 8.0. The moment I saw the low build number (90), I knew I made a mistake. Boy, was I right. Bug City!

The installer blue screened my machine the first time through, and only 4 hours after successfully completing the install one of AVG's modules crashed and reloaded. Then while doing a full system scan, it's found DOZENS of false positives. Glad I turned off automatic "healing".

If you use AVG, stick with 7.5 until they work the kinks out.

Thank you for the warning

Thank you. I'll warn friends about the new AVG.
