The previous thread on this said to upgrade to the new one which was is free.

Indeed.

The "Your free AVG is about to run out, buy teh new one" message is slightly misleading.

also, they bury the free download link in the site, so if you enter from the main page, you may never find the fucker.

Which begs the question why bother having a free version if you don't want people to find it?

So it is for free. And yes, it is very misleading. Thank you guys, sorry to have wasted your time. *skulks off with tail between legs and head between thighs*
