Default AGV 8.5 -Is it free???

Been getting prompts on my pc saying its time to upgrade from 8.0 to 8.5, but I cant see anywhere the usual "free version"?

Have they stopped the free service or am I not looking in the right place

You're not looking in the right place, there is a free version, they just make it really difficult to find! LOL. They also make it hard not to download the shitty extras, like toolbars etc.

I can't remember exactly where it is, but it'll be there somewhere.

Free home download, IMO a lot, lot better than the free AVG

I used to use AVG, and even had the paid version, but it wasn't that good to be honest.

ive not had any problems with my pc since i stopped using all these free downloads. i think they deliberately infect you so you have to pay to upgrade and clean up the problem.
