What I show here is 'the group of words' that couch "that word" (below hyperlinked to 'a brief message before AVG offers you their FREE antivirus download (with optional #upgrades)) into your vocabulary ... deeper meanings that 'firm the foundations' upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Upgrade” (originally referring to "an Upward |Slope," then to "a Military Promotion"; the "Advanced Version"-sense didn't come into use until 1980) is built of Up & #Grade.
The word “Grade” is built on ancient words that mean "to Walk, Go"

AVG was nice enough to give me a temporary upgrade, but they felt it necessary to remind me that my upgrade is TEMPORARY---I'm sticking with the FREE (when my upgrade ends in a hundred-or-so days), but ... well, here's the 'form' they have me looking-at:
- Select Your Level of Protection
- Antivirus Free
- Stop Malware in Real-Time - Block threats before they can harm you with our smart antivirus, which uses artificial intelligence to protect you in real-time and sends automatic updates to keep you safe from the latest viruses, Trojans and other malware.
- Upgraded Internet Security - that, plus ...
- Firewall Your PC against Hackers - Keep hackers off your PC with our Enhanced Firewall, and block unwanted Remote Desktop connections with Remote Access Shield.
- End Webcam Spying for Good - Protect your privacy and prevent strangers from spying on you through your webcam. Block untrusted apps from taking control of your built-in camera.
- Protect Your Private Documents - Stop spyware from snooping through your tax files, health records & more.
- Avoid Fake Websites for Safer Shopping - Stop hackers from hijacking your DNS (domain name system) settings to direct you to fake websites designed to steal your passwords and credit-card numbers.
I select Antivirus Free, and then they go & offer me a huge discount on an upgrade; thanks, but no 😎
