AVG Anti-Virus 8.0 coming tomorrow
AVG is ready to pull the trigger on their new Anti-Virus suite, AVG Anti-Virus 8.0. From first looks, it's going to be a pretty major update. For starters, AVG Anti-Virus 8.0 will offer more than its standard Anti-Virus protection. Popular tools AVG Anti-Spyware, AVG Anti-Rootkit, and LinkScanner, previously stand-alone applications, are now integrated into AVG Anti-Virus 8.0. The code base has seen a significant overhaul as well, in the hopes that inevitable system slowdowns caused by AVG's real-time protection will be lessened.
AVG Anti-Virus remains one of the most popular free Anti-Virus solutions on the market, and this update will no doubt solidify their dominance. At the time of this writing, however, it's not exactly clear if the free edition will be updated at the same time as the paid edition, so if you aren't one for waiting, you might have to pay to see 8.0.
The full version of AVG will continue to offer an enhanced feature set, including tech support, greater scheduling capabilities, and support for newer multi-processor core chips.
Look for the update Thursday.

I upgraded to avg 8.0 3 days ago, and my whole system has been on go-slow ever since. It may be a nasty coincidence, but the fans on my tower keep switching on regularly too, something that only happened once in a blue moon before. I've tried all sorts to get the performance back, but nothing works. Never heard of Threatfire, guess I'll have to start doing a bit of research, thanks for the tip.
