Hi,

really? Can you show me such a link? The usual link is this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avast.android.mobilesecurity

yes, thats's where i am.

i only find the green button on top, which says "Installieren",
klicking that, a small purchase window opens:

"Anmelden, um fortzufahren
 Melden Sie sich an, um Mobile Security & Antivirus zu kaufen.
 Abbrechen/Anmelden"

(i can read German)

is there a different ("free-") button, i don't see?
thanks in advance

PS:
are you logged in with a google-account-ID?  (you know, it keeps you logged multibly and by default)
i am not, want to avoid it.
if so - and that IS the reason (not: "could be") -  do you know how to avoid?
regards

OK, just translated your message and I think it's just Google playing tricks with the translation :) If you log in using your Google account, it will download for free.

yes, that was it.
i looged in at google (in a different browswer-window) and this changed the site's behavior.
funny

PS:
This "yes..." is not yet veryfied to the final stage of the whole downloading.
now it says my smartphone is not prepared, because i have to do there something as well ("open google play store app with that ID on your device")
and so on...

> if it does work, finally, no message will follow,
> if it does not, i will return to our communication.

thank you very much anyway
