  5. Terry,
    What would be the reason for a website, like AVG anti-virus download, to just "disappear" every time one tries to click on it. I even put it under "Trusted sites" on my Internet Options.???? I also turned off my firewall. It opens on a separate tab but as I click on it, it closes down the internet...

  6. Dear KS, There could be many reasons why download links stop working. One of them are, sometimes admins move around files to different servers. The best way to keep updated to the latest download link is to look directly on the manufacturers website. If you click on the "AVG 8.0 Free" from my blog, please use the link "AVG Free 8.0 for Windows" on the bottom half of the download site as this would download directly from the AVG site. I just tested the download and it still works. Good luck, Terry.
