AVG upgrade

I have 2 problems which may or may not be Vista-related:

Free AVG users have to upgrade to Ver. 8. I have tried twice yesterday.
1st time received 17.4MB
2nd time received 23.8MB
Same message for both: Some of the files are corrupted. Please download a
new copy. What is going on. Must I first remove the existing Ver. 7.5?

My Windows Live Mail doesn't shut down properly when I close it to shut
down. Then I receive one or more drafts when I log in again. The envelope
on the left bottom of the screen disappears, but the one on the right bottom
of the screen remains. I have tried closing it manually, but it doesn't
solve the problem. This happens intermittently.

Hope you can help.

I installed AVG 8 without a problem, the install routine should uninstall
AVG 7.5
As I remember, my download was about 45MB.

Sound like your not getting the complete download.
Try downloading from here :
http://free.grisoft.com/ww.download-...e-edition#tba2

Click on the " continue to AVG free download" button.

You do not need to uninstall 7.5 , the version 8 install routine will
examine your system, and remove 7.5 prior to installing 8.

I did this yesterday morning, so far without issue.

Hope this helps,

Per AVG forum 7.5 updates will be available through 12/31/08.

AVG 8 scan will report Spywareblaster and maybe Spybot
immunizations/protections as an infection.

I am now trying to download it for the 3rd time. I have the same problem
about files being corrupted.

If you ever get a good download, my advice is to uninstall the old
version first. Many have reported no problems without doing the
uninstall, but others, including myself, have had more success by
unisntalling the old version first.

I hope you're right "Glatzfront"! I have just tried for the 3rd time - and
thought I was succeeding - but received 40.2MB this time and the same
message, viz "Some installation files are corrupt. Please download a fresh
copy and retry the installation". At this rate, maybe I'll succeed as each
time it gets a bit better, but who can throw away megs for nothing!

I was wondering if having AVG Anti-Rootkit attached to my AVG Anti-Spyware
had anything to do with it?

I didn't want to uninstall the 7.5 AVG as I may have the same problem again,
if it is actually AVG's problem.

What about looking at Avast as an alternative?

I am glad it's not only me, floundering in deep XXX!

AVG install issues: 'AVG Free Forum :: AVG 7.5 Installation Issues
(http://freeforum.avg.com/list.php?2

I'm now have Avast installed on XP Pro and Vista Premium, so far I lik
it. I want to find something for when AVG 7.5 isn't updated, to b
ready. Can't use version 8 as I use Spywareblaster's and Spybot'
immunization

I hope you are not trying to "Run" from the download.
This causes many problems.
Do a "SAVE" option, saving the file to the hard drive first.
Then do the installation from the saved file.
