Never mind. I found it in a post from this morning's activity on the 
GUI-Talk list. Thanks anyway.

Hi Louis,

try this URL for the CNET download site. Someone posted it on another
mailing list, and it worked for me. Before you click on it, please read the
rest of my message, below:

http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10320142.html?part=dl-AVGAntiVir&subj=dl&tag=button

When you activate the executable file to begin the installation, be ready to
use your Jaws cursor on some install wizard dialogues to read the details,
and once or twice to check or uncheck options. Be careful about this and
don't just click Next every time you hear Jaws say it. You may have to fool
around with the Jaws cursor a little to find a few of the controls or to
check or uncheck something with a left mouse click (num pad slash when
you're using Jaws cursor), but just be patient and see it through.

Also, the install wizard will see that you've got version 7.5 on your
computer and, if you just click okay or yes, will uninstall it as it
installs the new version.

Hope that works for you. If you find anything puzzling about the new AVG
Free Edition Version 8 interface, just ask and I or someone else can help.
I've just finished exploring the new interface, which is consolidated into
one screen instead of being split between a general control center screen
and a scan screen. It's not hard to figure out if you explore the menus and
read the help files. Also, if you are running Jaws 9, the latest version
(install the very recent update if you don't have it yet),you shouldn't
really have to switch to the Jaws cursor very much, or at all. Just explore
a little and see.

Last, if you launch the interface from its desktop icon or the system tray
and it doesn't seem anything is happening even though Insert T may say
you're there, alt tab and it will come into focus so you can deal with it.

Hope this helps. This is my first day with it, and I think it's going to
work fine for me and not be a hassle as some people have said it's been for
them.

Hi List,

What is the easiest way to go from AVG 7.5 to 8.0?  I have looked at
the AVG Web site and tried doing it from within AVG.. but am
lost.  Help.  Super thanks.

Louis
