avg internet security 8.0

An old favourite gets a new look.

Now in version 8.0, AVG’s latest release appears to have taken a page or three form from Vista. A redesigned interface sports high-resolution icons and a more colorful palette, and even the system tray icon feels borrowed from Microsoft’s newest OS;turn off one of the security modules and the icon turns red, alerting you to impending doom, even if you’ve only disabled the spam filter. That’s just wacky. Thankfully, you can turn off the ominous notifications.
