I've updated multiple 7.5s with 8 no problem - some network edition (with the new network edition), some free (with my paid-for 3-pack, which I had to repeatedly submit support requests for because my full 2 year license email never arrived).
AVG doesn't pop up ads constantly - 7.5 free and network editions didn't, 8 paid-for doesn't. So what I mean is maybe the free version of 8 does, but the others don't. Did you mean the free version of 8?

That's a failing in the way Task Manager reports memory usage - apparently what it's doing is memory-mapping a large file and sharing that ~10MB map between multiple processes, so only a small amount of that is
actually in memory at any one time, unless you have shit-tons of spare memory in which case it may all be, but only until you start running out.
