I've been using AVG 8.5 for a while now and while I think their older version was better (didn't have nags for one), I've had no real problems with it. There were a number of problems when it first came out to replace the previous version though. I'm wondering, are the same concerns around for the 8/8.5-9 upgrade?

Also, ever since the castlecops wiki went down I've been at a loss to find reliable comparisons between security softwares... So should I even still be using AVG anymore at this point?

On that note, I've been using Comodo Firewall (I know their Anti-virus sucks compared to pretty much all other choices so won't bother there.), and would love to see a really good test comparison on firewalls if anyone knows of any.

Basically, I just wanna make sure that the stuff I'm using is still adequate... and therefore worth upgrading to the latest version.
