It says "AVG 6.0 users should upgrade to AVG 7.0." If I were such a user, I
would.
But I'm a use of "Free AVG 6.0" and I want to upgrade to "Free AVG 7.0"
No one seems to be able to find such a thing.

If you look at http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/16/lng/us/tpl/v5
you will see that there is a beta free version that expires on Nov 30,
2004. This suggests that there may be a new Free AVG in the pipeline.

Doesn't your news server have the replies telling you that it won't be
available until end of Nov. Only Beta available now.

There's a big difference between a free download & a free version. The way they word it as a
"free download" has me worried - most would state that the "free version" will be available - it
does not in this case.
I've made plenty of free downloads in the past only to find that you have to pay to activate the
software later.
Free download means just that - you don't have to pay before downloading it.

Because as of yet, free ver. 7 is still a beta that expires. Also,
signature file updates for ver. 6 will still be happening until Dec.
31, 2004.

I went with Avast Home Edition 4.1 Free version. The program actually
has more options to it than AVG. It has email plugins built into the
program rather that downloading and installing a plugin. Seems like a
nice program.

Heh, your subject line got me worried for a moment, I thought it meant that
AVG was going over to the darkside and would no longer be free...
You seem to be implying that users need to install a separate email plug-in
for AVG? This isn't the case. The email scanner is installed as part of the
download. Just open the AVG Control Centre and click on the Email Scanner
tab to configure it.
(new users take note - it worth considering unchecking the "Certify Outgoing
Messages [as virus free]" option. If not, sooner or later you run the risk
of being given a stern dressing down from a member of the self-proclaimed
Usenet police. Even though you may be posting to a non-binary newsgroup. I
know, it's happened to me, but I'm a good boy now
Good luck with Avast, I'm sticking to AVG - never had any problems with it,
no need to change. (Funnily enough I actually *paid* for a one year licence
for AVG before it went freeware a few years ago...)

the problem is that they use a non-standard signature delimiter. i'm
quite sure it's intentional.

Me, too; I really like 7 beta; I don't look forward to the general issue
when "anyone" can have it.

What part of "Beta" don't you understand?

The voice of "Richard Steven Hack" drifted in on the cyber-winds,
from the sea of virtual chaos...
God almighty... Why is anyone still whining about this?
It's quite simple:
1) Grisoft has announced it's end of support for AVG Free v6.x,
and will discontinue updates at the end of the year. Yes folks,
you still have 2 months of updates in the wings.
2) They already have a public Beta of the next AVG Free (v7 core),
which will expire at the end of November. This is a standard
practice for software that's still in development.
3) They have also promised a free version based on this new
technology by the time the beta expires. So somtime in late
November you will see a new AVG Free, but based on the new core.
Since there will be at least a one month overlap between the v6 and
v7 cores there's no need to even update to the free Beta unless you
want to test (read: play with) it.
Is that a simple enough explanation for everyone?
