How do I stop Avast Pro Antivirus 30 day trial and go back to Free?

[kailash]

I went to update to the next program version from 7.0.1474 today and as I expected from past experience my pc froze and became unusable. I had checked the forums before I did the update and all seemed okay. So I did a system restore and somehow I had been put onto the Avast Pro Antivirus 30 day trial offer and I was told I cannot update unless I start to trial. I can not seem to find any way out of it. Any help would be much appreciated.

I am also having problems with V 8 and would like to go back to V 7.  If I go to filehippo even though I pick a version of V 7 it still downloads V 8 again.  Any idea of where I can get a V 7 copy for the free version.

You can get older versions of Avast from this website.

It would be better to explain your problems with Avast 8 and thus could help them get resolved by giving the information.

I just made another post about I cannot access gmail accounts using Windows Mail on Vista Home Basic.  By the way, thanks for the link for older versions if necessary.
