Your AVG AntiVirus FREE is outdated

If you are using AVG Free 2014 already, you may get this notice popping up in the bottom right of your screen. If you do, and you want to continue with the FREE version, here is what to do.

The notice: 
AVG
Your AVG AntiVirus FREE is outdated.
Update now to our 2014 version for improved
protection against the latest viruses & spyware.
Update Now

Click Update Now

Initializing Installation

Wait

Accept the agreement

Now, THIS STEP IS CRUCIAL:
Check BASIC PROTECTION
then click on Next.

UPDATE: SOME PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT CHECKED BASIC HAVE ENDED UP NOT BEING ABLE TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET AFTER THE UPDATE (until they downgrade to the Basic version).


Now it will install the update.

When it is done installing, the AVG main window will come up with a band across it:
Congratulations!
You've successfully updated to AVG AntiVirus FREE 2014

Click on Continue
Close AVG (your previous settings should still be the same)

There will also be a window that comes up:
Computer Restart Required

Now, save anything you might be working on and then click Restart now in the AVG pop up window.
Done

Firefox Tabs On Bottom/Below The Address Bar/Toolbars

If you like your tabs on the bottom - below the toolbars - instead of on top, here is the simple solution. This works with the new Firefox version 29.0.1. 

You may have had your tabs below the toolbars up until now, and then Mozilla updated Firefox to version 29.0.1

If you want your tabs back below the toolbars, download and install Classic Theme Restorer. Restart Firefox. Then open the Add-ons page, go to Extensions, then click on Options for Classic Theme Restorer. Change Tabs On Top to Tabs Not On Top. OK. Done.

I found that manually making the change in About:config did not work, but this add-on does.

There are a lot of other things you can do with this add-on. See this page for more about this add-on.

The Summer Update is out now. And you will see an AVG pop-up to Update Now on your screen sooner than later. To update:

Update Now - click this button when it shows up.
Check off Basic Protection
Next
When finished installing, click on Restart Now.
After restarting, open AVG
Click Continue
Click Scan Now to run an initial scan with the updated version of the program.

Note:
IF you made a mistake and did NOT check off Basic Protection, and you ended up with a trial of the paid version, you can easily convert back to the basic free version:
Open Control Panel, Programs and Features and remove AVG 2014. You will be given an option to Downgrade to the free basic version. Select this to convert.

Note:
If you clicked on Later, instead of Update Now, and you want to update, don't worry, it will come up again soon enough.
