I am running Windows 2000 SP 4 and have AVG 7.5 installed. I recently renewed my subscription and now AVG is urging download and installation of v 8. I am writing because I think I recall someone describing some trouble with v 8, but I can't find the reference.

Thanks

However it can be turned off, although the tray icon
admonishes you for it with a little red exclamation.
