I've used AVG free antivirus for a while now...

They've just forced an upgrade to 8.0

After downloading and trying to install three times, I can't get the free
version to install. It won't let me put the old 7.5 back.

Anybody suggest another anti virus program?

Take a look at the Iolo Service Mechanic Pro. In many cases when
your computer starts having problems its not a virus but a
registry problem or too many TSR programs are trying to load at
startup.

The complete IOLO package includes a good virus scanner [bi
directional email in-out if thats how you set it up], a
fireewall, and a computer "tune-up" program to evaluate your
settings, clutter, etc.

It works the best for me of several combinations I have tried.
Even usable with a 28.8 dialup internet connection when my
wirless link is down.
