Hi,
the 9.0 'changes' are only from the recent hotfix update. AVG2011 actually brings lots of significant improvements over v9, dramatically increased speed and further improvements in protection. Behavior monitoring is now part of the free (protects you against completely new, 0-day attacks), LinkScanner is also excellent while browsing the web. You should definitely give it a try!
