A rumor I have heard recently is that on some date in early Jan. 07, AVG version 7.5 will no longer be a free program .
Wiz, have you heard anything about this ? I know that the commerical version costs money. I have upgraded recently to V 7.5 and like it a lot .
Would appreciate knowing what info. relative to this subject Wiz or other forum members are are hearing about this .
Many thanks !

Here is the news release that may be causing this confusion. It refers to the demise of free version 7.1, while introducing 7.5.

| Hi Wiz I've been using AVG for a couple of years now, the free version. I updated from 7.1 to the new 7.5 free version and it locked up my computer and had to run in safe mode to uninstall. I'm using Windows XP Home.Any information concerning that. |

I upgraded to the free 7.5 at least a month ago and so far it is working great.
