For all you AVG Users Version 8 has been released. Here is the information:
With AVG 8.0, AVG raises the bar further by providing improved
protection against traditional threats such as viruses, spam, spyware
and trojans as well as new protection against emerging threats
including web exploits, drive-by downloads, phishing, and rootkits.
Following is a summary of new and improved features:
New Anti-Exploit Technology– AVG 8.0’s patent-pending safe
surfing and safe searching technology is designed to protect users of
Internet Explorer and Firefox browsers against drive-by downloads from
poisoned web pages and to flag dangerous search results in Google,
Yahoo and MSN search engines.
New Web Shield– Complementing the safe surfing and searching
technology, the new Web Shield module scans files during download or
exchange over ICQ or MSN instant messaging to ensure they are safe and
free of malicious content.
New High Performance Scanning Engine– AVG has reengineered the
scanning engine from the ground up to tackle viruses and spyware in a
single pass, delivering improved performance and speed through support
for multi-core computers, reduced system resource requirements, and
streamlined maintenance.
New User Interface– Enables more intuitive and efficient operation for novice and advanced users alike.
New Anti-Rootkit– This new component removes and protects
against rootkits, an especially pernicious form of malware that can
give cybercriminals high-level control over infected computers.

computers against unauthorized access from internal and external
networks as well as direct hacker attacks.
Improved Anti-Virus– Provides improved detection of hidden viruses, faster scanning, and more intuitive scheduling of scans.
