That's what you call an ad. If AVG Free does what you want it to do, then you don't really need to change it. I use AVG Free for antivirus, Windows Defender and Spybot Search %26 Destroy for anti-spyware, Sygate Personal Firewall as my software firewall, and I've seen them all in action.

AVG, Windows Defender, and Sygate Personal Firewall once prevented my system from problems when Bethseda's official forums got hacked. (This was before I installed Spybot.) That particular situation was an unusual one, the best way to avoid problems is simply to stay away from dubious websites. You're not likely to get a virus from, say, Cnet. Or Yahoo Answers. But if you're visiting sites that offer "free downloads" of "full version" software, then you're tempting fate. (And hopefully Bethseda's learned it's lesson about keeping it's forum software up to date.)

That's just a nag screen, annoying but harmless.

Avast doesn't nag you to upgrade, by the way, and it has better detection rates than AVG ;-)
