Reverted to pro
« on: May 16, 2013, 02:30:48 PM »
Again! I caught it last time before it expired, clean uninstalled, placed the free version on my computer and reregisterd it for 1 year. Now I'm back to Pro and at the trial perdiod expired message. I did NOT download pro, it has to be downloading itself, maybe when the notifications for program updates are coming. I'm not happy, I'm thinking I need to move to a different platform

I just did this around a month ago, why did it come back and update to pro? In fact, I am positive I got the same instructions here, from this forum by reading other users with the same problem. Is there something I should be watching for in the updater? How can I keep this from happening again? I guess I will do this again, but if I run into this again, sadly I will say goodbye to Avast! if I have to delete and reinstall the program every month...

That was a bug in an earlier version, shouldn't happen again.

Ok, good. That is the answer I was hoping for, but didn't see it in other posts, thanks!
