Under no circumstances should you allow yourself to be bullied into paying for AVG anti-virus. Those of you who are on AVG Free Edition 7.5, stay there until further notice. As already stated earlier, not even AVG knows the real answer - apparently - about when virus definitions will stop coming for 7.5. If it does stop on 6/25, I will advise you as soon as I know. Even if that should be on 6/25, there is no need to panic, and there is no need to pay!
If support for 7.5 does stop soon, we can all go to AVG Free Edition 8.0. The key word there is FREE! I have downloaded, installed, and uninstalled Version 8 several times on several of my machines. There is nothing to fear about Version 8. Yes, it's a little bigger, a little slower, and more intrusive, but it works and is far better than the fee-based alternatives like Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro, etc.
Earlier posts herein tell you where you can download Version 8, so if you feel worried about all of this (you shouldn't) and somewhat adventurous, go ahead and download it and install it.
However, I recommend sitting tight for the moment with your version 7.5, as I am doing.
