The last letter must have been inadvertently dropped when doing a cut
and paste. Try the following.

I find these sites not entirely helpful, as some antiviruses might perform
well under lab conditions, but in the wild are terminally awful, examples
are of course norton internet security, where the bloated software is
crippled and doesnt force scan the system by default.

The best way of testing would involve giving a hundred teenage kids internet
access, and leaving them to it for seven days.

It's not possible to buy AVG Antispyware standalone anymore, the
antivirus and antispyware engines were merged into a new and more
efficient one (in the 7.5 there were 2 different engines).
AVG 8.0 Free should be out in the coming months, meanwhile you can use
the free version free.grisoft.com
