AVG discontinuing?

[Red Squirrel]

On my parent's computer (not sure why not on mine too) I got a notice that AVG will be discontinued, well at least the free version. So if that really is the case, what are other alternatives out there, in terms of free antivirus solution for windows?

There have been several threads on this topic.
AVG free will be continuing, they have acquired Ewido and released a new version. Version 7.1 will be discontinued. Just go nd download the new version (7.5 I think)<--- Still free.

New Free Anti-Virus GRISOFT is announcing a new version of the AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. This new 7.5 version with improved performance and full compatibility with the latest Windows Vista version is available. Users that are using AVG Free 7.1 will be provided with a specific dialog, within the next few weeks, with the opportunity to choose the right option fulfilling their needs. AVG Free 7.1 version will be discontinued on 15th of Jan 2007.
