Yes Derek/Shirley AVG does have the Help tab and the' About AVG' gives version information. You don't usually open AVG in a screen but double-click the wonky four-colour icon in the notification area of the taskbar on your windows screen and a small panel opens and Help is one of the available tabs.

I don't know whether AVG follows this convention but it is worth a try. Regards, Mike Sanders 2009/3/12 SHIRLEY STOKES <treveris9@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hello Derek Many thanks - I have tried this link and completed all the info. required, and although it says I have downloaded the new version, it keeps asking me to 'choose one of these..programmes and get 8.5 free' I cannot see how to check if I actually have the new one. I've tried Programmes and can find AVG but it doesn't tell me which version I have got. Is there a way of checking?
