Thanks buglawton

i may have to uninstall it all then and start again so as to access the wizard
now you mention it i remember seeing that option when i was installing
Maybe just wait untill the 8.0 version is available which hoofehearted mentions

Perhaps Hoofhearted can confirm that this option appears in the install wizard of AVG 8.

At present i have adaware and spybot search and destroy on my pc. If i download the new version of AVG with it's anti-spyware will it conflict with what i have already installed?

Anti-spyware applications are not like anti-virus applications. A-S applications can have several installed on your pc and some will find 'nasties' that others may not find, so it's good to have a couple installed.

A-V products conflict with one another and you should only have one installed on your pc.

Hope that helps.

Just checked the AVG website. Free 8.0 not available yet, but I've found a press release from yesterday. It is AV+AS.

AVG Technologies, a leading provider of Internet security software, will tomorrow release AVG Anti-Virus Free 8.0, the latest version of the company’s popular and widely-used free security software, which now incorporates protection against spyware through a new combined anti-virus and anti-spyware engine.
AVG Free provides basic protection against viruses and spyware, together with the safe-searching component of the company’s patent-pending LinkScanner® technology, incorporated into the new AVG Security Toolbar. The Free product does not include the proactive safe-surfing (“drive-by download” protection) of the full LinkScanner module that is included in the commercial AVG products, nor the protection against hackers, keyloggers, spam, phishing attacks, and malicious file downloads that can come through instant messaging and attachments from seemingly friendly sources. The free product also does not include the round-the-clock email support provided with the commercial products.

More later, hopefully!
