Anti-Virus Software help!

[4BlueEyes]

Hope fully I am posting this in the right place...

I am fairly new to this forum so if somebody could just give me some help without a lot of computer jargon it would be appreciated.

I have this laptop and my friend at the the time helped me install everything and get it up and running. He installed AVG Anti-Virus protector, the free edition, and it says it will be expired soon.

I was wondering if anybody could help point me in the right direction on getting the updated free edition? I don't exactly know where to look, my friend usually took care of this stuff and now he won't help me.

I'd rather not download software that costs money, poor college student!!

any help is greatly appreciated!!!

AVG Free 7.1 version will be discontinued on 15th of Jan 2007.
