This entire process of going through links to get a refund sucks!  The phone vendor Digital River  is useless, and have us go to the Avast link to submit a ticket.  Then you often get to this page and it is unavailable.  I finally was able to get through and type something, but god knows when I'll get a response!   They can ignore you, and you cannot even complain about it, because Avast will not allow you to speak to them.  DR has no control over billing, so a customer is screwed.  Horrible customer service!
The fastest way to get help is to contact Avast directly:

Strange... Seems available. Maybe a temporary issue?

I had a problem connecting to the https://support.avast.com/support/tickets/new support ticket page.

Though disabling https scanning and stopping the web shield and then restarting the web shield seems to have resolved that issue.

Remember I have been having a lot of grief with https browsing since 10.4.x through to 11.1.2240.

I have just visited it now without issue.

Agreed, and given the fact many of us have been advocating for avast to change it's strategy here for well over 2 years, I think it may be our concerns/complaints/suggestions are in vain. :-\

We can make suggestions. We aren't Avast and they ultimately make the final decisions. They may not always be the same as ours. :)

Been waiting 2 days and 14 hours after I a submitted ticket to see why my email address isn't being accepted so I can update my payment information, which meant my auto renew was cancelled and I have no antivirus. Is it worth calling the support line, or should I hold steady?

Be patient, 5 to 7 days is the suggested reply time.

I wouldn't call the helpline. They actually can't help you on this issue and, that help comes from a third party.  :(

Hi.....is it possible to get anyone from Avast to answer concerns? Submitted an support request on 28th December last year and despite an automated acknowledgment advising 24 hour response on Ticket Number 112514....nearly 2 weeks later....NOTHING! Online reviews and forums are full of similar problems. Non existent customer support doesn't inspire confidence to proceed beyond trial period and looks like it will have to be my credit card company that take it on board since Avast seem to just ignore customers once they have credit card details. After years of using Avast Free and upgrading to their so called 'Premier' service I am shocked to find such poor customer service....sign of the times maybe?
