Is the FREE option a scam????

[VincentJohn]

Hi,

I'm just using avast and signed for 1 year FREE. Now it seems like after 1 mounth I have to pay for my avast. Is this a scam,  What is this?

How can you change my setting in to my FREE use for 1 year.

 

Thnx

Do you have Avast Free installed, or one of the paid versions?

If Avast Free, did you register it?  Registration is free and can be done from Avast User Interface.  See https://support.avast.com/index.php?languageid=1&group=eng&_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=1073.

Yes, if you installed or somehow ended up with a "Trial Version" you would only get 30 days Free and then be required to purchase. If that is the case then you will need to Uninstall the Trial version and Install 'Avast Free' and the Register as directed.

Avast seems to have only one download version (see image)

Where can I find the free 1 year download.

If you click on "Aangepaste installatie" you should install the customizable version of avast Free.
