Am I right that this nag screen urging me to upgrade to the paid
version is popping up about every few hours? Seems to have started
only since I installed version 7. Maybe I'm imagining it, but it also
seems to be getting steadily more frequent!

I never had any popup with 7.5. There is an inline flyer link to upgrade
to the paid version but no popup ad and I have it installed on both
Vista and XP. |

AVG FREE 8.0 has no such nag screen. Here's the manufacturer's link:
http://free.grisoft.com/ww.download?prd=afe
There's been plenty of discussion about the new AVG FREE 8.0 update,
which has, among many other improvements, integrated AVG anti-spyware
into the freeware version. It does cause ActiveX warning flag conflicts
with the freeware SpyBot S&D, SpywareBlaster, etc., "immunization"
protection, but apart from this, I've heard of no other complaints
about the new AVG FREE 8.0 (now 8.0.100).
I heard about the update and discussions on alt.comp.freeware.

I've NEVER had a nag from 7, 7.5, or now, 8.

You might be talking about the drop-down notification. If so you can
disable it using the following method.
To get rid of the "Dropdown Notification" all you have to do is change 2
files in the ...\Program Files\AVG8 folder.
- Change avgmwdef_us.mht to avgmwdef_us.mht.bak
- Change avgresf.dll to avgresf.dll.bak
