AVG 9.0 is Out


Posted on: October 16th, 2009

Last night I got a notification about that AVG now moved up to version 9.0. The last version was 8.5.420.

When there’s a major version change the usual way of events is this:

- For a few months the older version will have virus updates but there will be no more program updates for the previous version.

- After that few months the users of the older versions will start to get notifications to upgrade.

- A few months after that the virus updates will stop for the previous versions.

AVG 9.0 continues to have a free version for home users. The easiest way to download the new version is from Filehippo.com: http://filehippo.com/download_avg_antivirus/

I have not had chance to check if the upgrade process from 8.5 goes smoothly, or not but I figure it should be painless because there are no major changes in the software.

Here are some screen shots of the new version:
