The new AVG 8 auto downloads updates every 4 hours (Free version to be available later this year).
However, I uninstalled my AVG 8 and reinstalled AVG 7.5Pro because version 8 has now antispyware,
antiphishing and antipharming tools that significantly slow down the Internet access. If you
disable any of these, your system tray icon nags you constantly.

There was a free Kasperky/AOL AV which updated every single hour
automatically but that offer has been withdrawn by AOL. Can't you simply
hide the icon if you don't want to see it at all? Why don't you just switch
to the Free Edition once your subscription expires? What will they do with
the standalone Anti-spyware program which I also have installed along with
Anti-rootkit (both free versions)? I think I can live with the every four
hour auto update period when it becomes available in the Free Edition.
