You on;y have to read this topic to see that it isn't fake.

Downloading isn't enough as I have said before, they have to install it and importantly register it before it is credited to your referral link. Check if they have done that.

You're welcome.

Looks like it takes a little time to update the recommendation page.

Read the first post again and this piece obviously applies.

We tried to make it as easy as possible for you, and we know that's quite easy to cheat, but on the other side we are able to detect suspicious accounts and disable the licenses, so please do not cheat ;-)

Now if someone is just going to install register and uninstall where is the credit in that and it would look suspiciously like someone trying to cheat.

Now you talk about avast not being able to solve his issues when we know nothing about them. If they have a problem report it in the forums and we will try to resolve it for them.

Why not take away that annoying renewal pop up reminder that badgers you every single day and I would recommended 7/14/21+ friends to install and use avast for Free!

Instead, I now recommend that 7/14/21+ friends AVOID installing and using avast.

I use and recommend avast! because it's an excellent product and because it's kept my system safe and secure for almost ten years.
I guess we all have different reason for recommending or, not recommending a product.

Very mature, if you are using the free version, just renew from the user interface (takes seconds) when the 30 day notification comes around, no more reminders.

Sounds like cutting off your nose to spite your face (with over fours years of personal experience), don't like the frequent reminders just renew and let avast continue to protect your system/s. The idea is protection and throwing out avast over frequent reminders, is like throwing the baby out with the bath water IMHO.

For me the paid users really have a point this is too frequent, they don't want to renew early because they have time remaining that they don't want to lose. But that shouldn't happen it should add to the time remaining, if not sales (at) avast (dot) come can correct that with minimal hassle.

i recommend avast and my 5 friends are using now..after these five my 2 more friends are also installed via my link but these two are no added in my friends counter....so i think it is a fake offer...

As I have said before, read the whole topic and you will see it isn't fake and that they not only have to install it they have to register it before it can be credited to your referral, that may take a little time to do.

If it were fake do you think that any would have been credited to you or that others have already received their licenses.

If only I had heard of this earlier, I would have 3 years worth of Internet Security for free.  Oh well.  :-\  At least I'm secure on the Web.

Hi,

it usually take 24 hours when the credit is added to your account after installation.

I'm using the paid version and your second sentance is more to the point.  By the way I am a mature user, a business user at that and so my point isn't a money issue.  The bottom line is the product is OK.  I don't need to be badgered into to purchasing a renewal before its due date or without making my decision on what product I want to use for my company.

The only people cutting their nose off to spite their face is Avast.  I would have been quite happy to renew across all my pcs without all the hassel but this badgering is way over the top.  Pop ups on every pc and the emails are just a joke.

I won't be renewing with Avast, its a closed book in our case due to the bad experience but maybe some valid input for Avast on why long term customers are leaving them.
