No, AVG free edition will not repace the Adaware 8.0, you need to uninstall
to upgrade to version 8.0 of AVG then you can Reinstall the Lavasoft 8.0 to
be protected against malware.
Or you can try one of these MS product Windows defender free and OneCare
free Trail for 90 days.
Windows Defender Free for windows:
