Answer 2

I have AVG 7.5, I can sent the installation package to you.

E-mail, me if you want it.

Answer 3

I can't really say there is a "best" anti-virus program. I personally have very good luck with AVG free. There is only one problem with installing or leaving an older version of any Anti-virus...there are (or soon will be) no further updates to the virus data base. In which case you are no longer protected from any new virus's.  I can not reason why your computer crashed after downloading avg 8. I have one computer that is almost 7 years old and it is running fine with AVG 8.0 Free.  

Answer 4

I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans Hackers etc. I have just upgraded to AVG free 8.0 and all seems good so far. Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from http://www.download.com/ I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps
