About the only possible negative (for Win98SE) that I can see is that it appears to use a bit more system resources. I think my System/User Resources percentage dropped about 9 or 10% (in comparison to version 6). Somebody correct me if I'm wrong - or maybe they can verify. (You can check that just before updating, and thus see the change) |

I am interested in any reports of problems using AVG 7 free edition. I read a post
here where the user's computer shuts down instead of loading the desktop, if the boot scanner is enabled. Also, in my testing for compatibility here, on Windows 95B, the AVG Control Center is periodically causing the system to lock up when avgcc.exe stops responding. In Win95B here, it also interferes with power management's ability to turn off the monitor after a set time. Apparently it was not tested on Win95 as well as it was on later operating systems. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "Bill in Co." wrote in message ...

It says in the AVG pdf help reference file that AVG 7 "can also be run in
Win95, but in this case, IE 5.01 or higher is required". The previous sentence in that same file implies that it was designed for Win98 and newer systems, however. Incidentally, I might have been off - it looks like the System Resources went down by around only 5% or a bit more, in comparison to AVG 6. glee wrote: I am interested in any reports of problems using AVG 7 free edition.

I've just loaded mine,
The load process, advised quite clearly that it was beneficial to uninstall Ver 6 firstly, which I did. All is loaded and everything looks/seems fine, (Win98se) My resources went from 56% to 65% after installation.

The newer version is MORE resource hungry (has more features) than the older one. Maybe you didn't do a clean reboot before the test (while still using version 6) and after the test (with version 7).
