I'm still running version 7.5 of AVG anti-virus, and I've been getting alerts to upgrade to version 8 of AVG anti-virus. If you don't know already, AVG is a, free for personal use, anti-virus program. I've been using it for years and have written a post on it before. I've used version 7 for years now and it has done a good enough job for me.
Version 8 has some improvements and comes with some extras that may make your web browsing habits a bit safer as well. Part of the reason I use AVG is because it utilizes very minimal system resources, not to mention free.
If you are still using version 7.5 you should upgrade to version 8 soon. I'm sure you've been getting the pop-up asking you to upgrade, if you have kept up with virus signature updates. The deadline for the upgrade is April 12, 2009, meaning your AVG 7.5 software will stop getting updates.
Do you use AVG Antivirus? Have you upgraded? What other free Anti-virus software do you recommend?

Update To Firefox 3.0.8

Firefox released a security update in the form of another update. They did so very soon after a zero day exploit was discovered. Kudos to the Firefox community! If you have not updated or did not get the automatic update yet, go to your Help -> Check For Updates menu in Windows. My Ubuntu system updated itself on 3/29/09, very nice.
Whatever system you are running on. Do your part to keep your system and web browsing habits safe by upgrading to the latest version of Firefox 3.0.8.
If you don't use Firefox, what do you use? Do you like the speedy Chrome browser? The Apple backed Safari? Microsoft's default IE? Or the renegade and bleeding edge Opera who started tabbed browsing and many other features? Let us know what you use, and why, in the comments.
