Hi BRKHon and welcome to the Avast Forums!
Be assured...you are not being conned. To clarify...Avast Free Antivirus is the free version of Avast's Antivirus program. The Avast EasyPass software is a yearly-based, paid subscription which provides you with the ability to securely save the various usernames and passwords you use to access the websites you visit, along with a number of other functions.
The Avast EasyPass program does not function as an antivirus application.
EasyPass can be set up to automatically just fill-in the username and password fields on a site you are visiting, or you can also set it to automatically fill-in the username/password fields and then log you in.
With the Avast Free Antivirus program, (the last time I checked)...when your yearly registration is about to expire, you generally have to re-register if you would like to continue using the free program.
(Some of our other knowledgeable forum members may be able to further clarify this information).
Hope this provides a little better enlightenment for you!
Best regards,
Pete C.
