I have several machines running AVG Free 8.5.  I like it, and have 
updated one to the paid version.

  I have ONE machine, running 32-bit XP Pro on an Athlon 64, on 
which since about March 25th any attempt to update AVG -- free or 
paid! -- blue screens.  (The day this started, the paid machine reported 
for several hours that it could not contact AVG's update server, but that 
problem corrected itself in much less than a day.)
