Has Avast been cracked?
«

Hello. I turned on my PC this morning, and I got a pop-up from Avast asking me to activate my trial period for Avast Pro. I activated my Avast (home edition) 4 months ago, and it said it was valid for 365 days.
Is this legit, or is it scamware?
Here is a screencap of it-

This sounds like some sort of mistaken upgrade to pro version..
you use awsclear.exe from here:
www.avast.com/uninstall-utility
and then download your free copy of avast from here:
www.avast.com/free
OBS,this hit for the free registeration and dont click on upgrade to paid or pro version anywhere,many people make a mistake

@ aferg01
If you scroll down to the bottom of the page (in the image you posted), is there an 'Other Options' section ?
If so open that and use the "Switch me back to avast! free" option.
Have you used system restore recently ?
If so we have seen a number of instances like this after the use of system restore.

Hello,
unfortunately this is a known bug, which will be fixed in next update. For now please uninstall and install again avast! Free version.
