My license for 7.5 Pro expired this week and I upgraded to AVG 8.0 Pro ($20.00 reduced rate). I'm seeing some sluggishness in the display of webpages as well as some errors within AVG itself. There are 'new features/functions' built into 8.0 obviously, including a phishing feature that is probably responsible for my webpage issues. I'm not real happy with it yet, but it's early. Oh, and I'm running XP Pro SP2. Stew

Ver 8's been stable on my machines, although I have had problems figuring out how to set up their firewall to allow access to my NAS. Definitely no problems no issues with AVG's update. Which OS are you running (I have XP Pro x64 Edition on my desktops)?

I made a small mod to it but I don't think that had anything to do with its stability. I'm using ZA as my firewall and it works well with AVG 8 (free version). |
