Hi, Dave, No, I've now got the 8.5 version of the free AVG, and all the reminders stopped aas soon as I downloaded the new upgrade from 8.0 to 8.5.

Maybe you keep getting those reminders because you actually downloaded the paid version and its free trial period ends on April 12. Just a guess on my part.

I started getting reminders to upgrade to 8.5 a week or so ago. The scans don't run constantly, but it does seem to take hem hours to finish. During those hours, JAWS is really sluggish and quirky. But I fixed something in the settings, so we'll see if that helps. Alice ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
