Yesterday, Grisoft announced that a new version of AVG Antivirus Free would be released today, April 24, that was supposed to come with several new functions beside the
ones already included in the application. As expected, the new AVG Antivirus Free 8.0 was rolled out today, so if you want to download it, all you need to do is to click here in order take it straight from Softpedia.

The new AVG Free 8.0 is compatible with most Windows versions, including here Windows 2000, Windows XP/x64 Edition and Windows Vista/x64 Edition. Moreover, the application is available in a large set of languages including English, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Serbian and Spanish. Here are the main functions of the application, as published by Grisoft on the official page of the newly-released program:

- Anti-Virus: protection against viruses, worms and trojans
- Anti-Spyware: protection against spyware, adware and identity-theft
- Anti-Rootkit: protection against hidden threats (rootkits)
- Web Shield & LinkScanner: protection against malicious websites

"With the release of AVG Free 8.0, we are underscoring our belief that all computer users, regardless of their computer usage needs, have the right to a safe and worry-free computing experience," says Karel Obluk, chief technology officer at AVG Technologies. "However, it is important for users to remember that AVG Free does not protect against the full range of today's web-borne threats. For complete protection, users should consider AVG's commercial products, which scan for and block threats before they can infect the computer or disrupt the user experience."

Once again, if you want to download this new release of AVG Antivirus Free, namely the 8.0 edition, you can take it straight from our website using this link.
