Good Evening All

I've used AVG for a long time and it is really quite good though not 
perfect:  never the less I intended to continue using it.


However, I noted that the company has been restructed as of Jan 08 so 
I read the End Users Licence Agreement very carefully and found what 
agreement to the EULA meant was quite unacceptable to me.


May I respectfully suggest that if you intend to put AVG 8 on your 
computer, do read the EULA and particularly the privacy policy which 
you have to dig for but it is there to find for those who persist, 
and make sure that the conditions of use are fully acceptable to you.


Yours aye

That is news to me
Last week they still had only the version
7.x.x for free - which I have.

I will give it a look and see.

Thanks

Good catch, Ike! Time to look for alternatives I'm afraid.

Did I miss something? I read the privacy policy and I understand that any data 
collection, storing or sharing relates only to avg websites or their affiliates, 
and only if you register, which is optional.

The privacy policy on the web site looks reasonable - is it just the 
eula, or does the download come with a different privacy policy? If 
so, to save a lot of people the hassle of downloading just to read 
it, could you say what you take issue with, please?
