I just had the worst time upgrading AVG 7.5 to 8. I didn't like 8
because of all the new dialog boxes so I uninstalled and reinstalled
7.5. I don't like the AVG firewall so I turned it off, but whenever I
restart, the AVG firewall is on again (I have my Windows firewall on
all the time).

If I check for upgrades in AVG it gives a long list of priority
updates and optional updates. I'm afraid to click on those as I don't
know what it will do. I'm pretty sure I can still update the virus
database like before.

I'm not aware of AVG having a firewall. Could you tell me what the component
is called. If it is the resident Sheild you are referring to, this is more
of an anti-virus which scans as files download to try'n avoid downloading
viruses in the first place

Sorry I meant to add that I have downloaded all the available updates and
this does not upgrade you to version 8

AVG 8.0 Internet Security and AVG 8.0 Pro with firewall has the firewall in
it.
The free version doesn't
If you purchased this- send an email to AVG- you can use their web page to
send the email explain what is going on and they will help you.
As for the upgrades you need them- I have been beta testing avg 8.0 from the
beginning and you need all the upgrades so it is stable.
