    I'd go with AVG 8 still free

    I think the issue you are remembering is that Free AVG 7.5 has been discontinued and is not supported. Of course they tried to get you to buy the new version 8! That's their job!!

  7. Poll: and it wasn't even HER computer!

  9. Thanks -- still having the problem; what about this?

    When I replaced the hard drive in this computer, I bought a 160 GB drive -- probably because it was there (price was right, etc.). Not giving a lot of thought to things other than the owner asking...

    nothing wrong with what you were doing
