[QUOTE="DougCuk, post: 262083, member: 15841"] Sounds like the AVG marketing department are up to their usual tricks - changing how the adverts get served - to try and stop you blocking them. Have not looked at the 2015 version yet - I have a policy of not installing AVG software until we are well into the year it claims to be written for - I have no wish to beta test 2015 security software and crash my system - the 2014 version is working ok. I will be waiting till 2015 actually arrives before swapping over - maybe even waiting till February - just to be safe. IMO the marketing dept at AVG have too much input on the product - and end up putting users off the products - with too many adverts and dishonest, scare-tactic warnings about upgrading to the latest version. The tech dept used to post honest advice in the AVG Free Forums (now closed) - which often contradicted the (marketing dept) warnings coming from the software. So no need to panic and update to next years version - support will continue for the previous version (or two) - despite what any warning messages from the software might say. [/QUOTE]
