The calls are starting to ramp up wondering about AVG's messages regarding the discontinuation of their anti-virus. The message is a little alarming, but rest assured that AVG (Grisoft) is NOT going out-of-business and for home users the product will remain free. Although Grisoft is discontinuing support and updates for their current version, they have released a new version of their popular and highly effective program called AVG 7.5. No need to worry, just follow the steps below to continue receiving the best anti-virus protection available today.

Upgrading to AVG 7.5 is not too bad. If you are using a broadband Internet connection , the download will only take a few moments. If you are a dial-up customer, the download will take about one to two hours. Here are the directions for properly upgrading to the newest edition of AVG Antivirus:

1. Download the AVG Free Edition 7.5 setup program (by clicking this link) [1].
   
2. Save this file on your hard drive (preferably the Desktop)
3. When the download finishes, double-click the file to start the installation.
4. Click "Next" on the AVG "Welcome!" screen
5. Click "Accept" on the "License Agreement on Use of an AVG Free Edition" screen
6. Select "Repair installation" on the "Select Setup Type" screen and click "Next"
7. Select "Restart the computer now" (pre-selected by the program automatically) and click "OK" on the "Installation Complete!" screen to restart your computer and complete the installation
8. Be sure to RIGHT Click the AVG icon by your clock and then Check for Updates as well once the computer restarts

That should do it. Most of your AVG settings (if you changed them) should remain the same, but you can check them by entering the AVG Control Center by double-clicking the AVG icon by your clock.
