Yep, if you want to have virus updates:
"On December 31, 2004, support for AVG 6.0 will be discontinued. ***All virus
database updates, program updates, as well as technical support for the product
will no longer be available after this date! **** In order to continue to be
protected by AVG Anti-Virus, you must be using AVG 7.0.

I'm pretty sure they've said support for AVG 6 is ending at the end of the
year, including updates. I don't see how that leaves us any choice but to
download.

I got it. I was a bit concerned on the registration action during
installation. They seem to have created an online help message board or
something that you get when you register. But the licenses agreement seems
to allow them to give info to third parties for marketing purposes. I don't
remember if this was there before - with AVG 6, which I'm pretty sure I did
register.
I don't know if this is something new or if I'm being paranoid. As expected,
a small definition update was required. Thanks for the heads-up Steve.

No problem.
As a little note to SpamPal users, I've got a beta page ready for the new
manual, it's not that good yet, but just in case it helps somone:
http://www.alien8.lunarpages.com/manual_eng/antivirus/avg7/avg7.htm
Note 1: Windows 95/98 users cannot use the transparent virus scanning
of the new AVG7, whereas XP/2000 can. The same applies for SpamPal's new
transparent spam filtering, which works very nicely with AVG
Note 2: I think AVG also requires Administrator rights to run transparently?
SpamPal Preview (alpha) transparent spam filtering version here (use only if
you like testing stuff):

Cheers,

I guess you could use another prog.
Personally, I've been using the beta and love it - I hope the final release
is as good

Yes, Steve, that sounds like a pretty convincing argument. Thanks for

I just installed it and the AVG icon is "grayed-out" in my system tray.
Anyone know why?

Does AVG 6 have to be uninstalled prior
to installing AVG 7?
Thanks

No. Download page states that the older version will be uninstalled
automatically during installation of ver 7.

Probably because the e-mail is not fully activated..Sweep said:
Launch the AVG control center and click on the e-mail icon. At the
bottom it should ask if you want to activate. Click on it...
good luck....

I read that, too, but the installation encountered errors. When I went back,
uninstalled the beta, and reinstalled, it worked beautifully. I have Windows
98, and that might have been a problem.

That fixed it, thanks a lot. BTW, I didn't use the email scanner on v6 and
don't intend to for this one. Would not installing the email scanner during
the advanced installation enable me to have my "colored" system tray icon?

I uninstalled avg6 before install avg7, it generated a registration
number for me, is its wisdom ?
