Avast free firewall
« on: August 01, 2016, 03:16:27 PM »
I have installed avast free and then the firewall component, and it works. I though the firewall component was part of the paid version.
Is a bug or the firewall is free? which components are free and which ones are paid?

Probably a bug, there's no FW in the free version.

I have installed it using the component section of the settings, now is up and running and I have the free version.

Sorry, no idea what's going on. As said, most probably a bug.

See https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=189344.0, freidkin.gilad's topic, something similar going on.

I suspect that you may find after 30 days (standard trial period) you may well get something to pay or to revert to the free version.

Hi guys,

as I have said in other threads, this is obviously a bug. We are working on it.

Thanks for reporting,
B.
