AVG Free Anti Virus
« on: Tuesday 13 February 07 13:07 GMT (UK) »
 
Hi

Just a timely reminder that support for AVG Free Anti Virus version 7.1 ceases on 18/02/2007.

Anyone who has not already done so, should download the latest version 7.5 before that date, in order to retain full protection.

If you get the AVG Control Centre on screen and click on "Information" at the top, then on "About", it will tell you the version number.

If it is version 7.5.441 you will be alright. If it says 7.1.something you need to download the new version

The withdrawal of support for the earlier version means that automatic updates will not be provided for it (even though it may still be set to receive them). The older version will still operate but only with an out of date database of threats.

Although you may be getting updates automatically the upgrade is slightly different and requires downloading the installation program.

However, check which version you are running by opening the control center for the program going to "information" in the menu bar and then "about AVG" if this shows you running version 7.5 you need take no action - if you are running version 7.1 this is the version which will no longer be supported after 18th february and you should upgrade by downloading and running version 7.5.
