alors que je pensais que Grisoft ne fournirais pas de version gratuite d’AVG 8 mais resterais sur une version 7.5 gratuite, l’editeur a finalement decidé le 24 Avril 2008 de publier une version 8 gratuite, soit environ deux mois apres la sortie de la version payante.
L’annonce : AVG Technologies 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.
Comme toujours la version est uniquement disponible en Anglais mais AVG Free integre maintenant un module Antispyware.

Il est a noter qu’avg annonce egalement la fin du support des versions gratuites d’AVG Antispyware et AVG antirootkit ! c’est bien dommage 🙁 ils sont dorénavant que dans la version payante/trial Internet Security Suite 8.0 dispo sur http://www.avg.com/product-avg-internet-security?fprd=ais.12m
L’annonce officielle :AVG Anti-Spyware and AVG Anti-Rootkit are no longer available
If you are still interested in Anti-Spyware and Anti-Rootkit protection, we recommend that you download AVG Internet Security which provides full protection against these threats and many others.
