7.1 will be discontinued. But you will still be able to get the new 7.5 for free ;)

Does anyone want to post a link for the new AVG free. Going by the warnings I'm getting from it they really want me to pay for the next one.

I use Avast, it works fine for me. One thing that annoys me is it asks me to update the registration too soon. I'm supposed to get 1 year, but it expires after only 3 months. ::)
