[gui-talk] AVG Free Edition Version 8

I understand that FS has released an  update to Jaws V. 9 that's supposed to 
remedy a problem where you had to exit Jaws before launching AVG V. 8 Free 
Edition or else Jaws couldn't access its interface.

I'm an AVG Free Edition v. 7.5 user, and I'd like to at least try Free 
version 8 before giving up on AVG, uninstalling it and downloading Avast!, 
instead, as some folks are doing.

So this morning, I allowed a notice that popped up while AVG was performing 
its daily update to lead me to the AVG Web page where they promote the new 
products, both free and paid.

So far, so good. but I looked and I looked but I can't find the damn link to 
simply download the new Free Edition Version 8. I don't blame them for 
trying to promote their two paid editions, which I think are called Pro and 
Security, but amidst the clutter of promotional copy for those two editions 
and links to publicity material, I simply can't find the link to just go 
ahead and download the free version 8. I've clicked on so many links I 
thought might get me there that my head is spinning now.

Can anyone guide me through this maze? There are a few links and controls on 
the AVG pages that are either unlabeled or labeled with meaningless 
characters. I wonder if those have to do with what I'm looking for?

Help. Still have a week or so before there are no more virus definition 
updates for v. 7.5.

Thanks.
