I have read that people are having trouble with AVG 8.0 perhaps you might want to read this before installing it.

I downloaded it about week ago and everything seems to be working fine

I opted out of installing the avg security toolbar.

Hope this helps...

Is that with AVG 7.5 or AVG 8.0?

Should I download the new version 8 now or stick with 7.5?

I have just installed this but since doing so I keep getting messages saying " You may be unprotected as errors were found:

Anti Virus outdated
Anti Spyware outdated

Is this because I did not install the toolbar security or should I be worried?

Nothing to do with the toolbar, have you tried a manual update?

Fortunately it's all explained in the User Manual available here.
