hi Frank,
No, an AVG Free Edition program is no trouble to install. In fact, that's a
nice convenience, having the CD to work from, so long as the CD instructions
speak all right with Jaws. I've always just downloaded the program and its
updates from the Grisoft site. It's really simple, just a few steps of the
usual sort where you read each of a very few dialogues, probably just press
Next on each of them, and then click on the Finish button, and you're set
up.

When I bought my new Del a few months ago, I received a AVG disc with it. I
never installed it, however. Is this system difficult to install?
