Kinda moot point, because an older version of anti-virus software without updated signature files is not that useful at all. Besides that, I find it a very good habit to always keep the installation files of any software that deserved it's place onto my computer.
As I had to install the latest version from AVG on a friend''s computer as well...and seeing how it has become...from "servant"-mode (does its work behind the scenes) to "fully armored bodyguard"-mode (affecting practically everything you do)...I quickly ran to look at the options from the competitors of AVG.
Avira AntiVir http://www.free-av.com is what replaced AVG on my system. Avast! didn't make it because of its interface...it does the same as the interface from AVG 8, both really stupify the end user.
Ah well, maybe ClamWin http://www.clamwin.com should be on my system.It is open source and has the least obtrusive interface of them all :)

I looked there and they only seem to have version 8.
Trouble is a lot of these 'repository' sites are obliged to update the files available to the latest builds - even when they don't update the description page.
At the end of the day I didn't need version 7.5 to actually have AV protection but to get round the broken uninstaller problem.

Sidebar :)
Carol Haynes:
Well that is interesting - how did you find it? It didn't come up in the search on Filehippo?
Edit ... Oh OK I see you have to go to version 8 to find version 7.5 - fair enough but not the most obvious.
Lashiec:
Going to the normal AVG 8 entry and clicking the second entry in the sidebar at the right, that was the latest AVG 7 released. And well, you also get it if you search for "AVG 7.5"
