Never got any notice from the program that a version 8 was available. I
just noted some comments about it on this newsgroup. I ran "update" on my
program and it told me all was up-to-date. I went to the company's web
site, saw it there, and downloaded it and installed it. My installed
program, 7.5. never told me about it.

I never got a popuup window after updating. I do run popup blockers but
they usually tell me that a web site tried to pop something up. If it were
the home page for AVG, I would have let it through.

I got an occasional reboot request, not when virus definitions were the
only update.
