No, I did upgrade my AVG before the other comment was posted.  However, I was operating from memory and the actual process was a bit more complicated then I remembered.  Here is what you have to do:

Click on the "See our full product list" line on the lower right side of the 7.5 warning page.

On the next screen goto the bottom under the Free Security heading and click on  the link "AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition".

On the next screen goto the Download section and click on "AVG Free Advisor website"

On the next screen click on "AVG Anti-Virus-Free" link.

Then click on "Download free version"  Select the version you want and click on it to download.

Simple as that, right?

Ok, so the original poster of this thread had more of a point then I remembered.  While I was able to get what I wanted by following what I considered at the time to be a reasonable path (I must of been real tired) it was much more difficult then it had to be.  All along the way you have multiple opportunities to purchase AVG, but you have to go through some hoops to get the free one.  AVG could have made this much easier and still given people a chance to purchase the product.
