This morning, when I booted my computer up, Avast asked me if I wanted to try the Avast Pro version for 20 days for free.  I said YES and upgraded the antivirus engine. 

At that point, Avast tells me that I am no longer protected.  I have rebooted my computer, to see again that Avast won't run on my computer until I BUY the Pro version (BUY a license). 

Today would have been Day 1 of the FREE 20 day trial of the Pro version.  20 days certainly went FAST.

Is there a way to recover from this, or should I just uninstall Avast and reinstall the free version?  I normally like Avast, but am rather upset with the way this went this morning.

Running Win 7.

Does this help?  >  https://www.avast.com/faq.php?article=AVKB204#artTitle

YES - thank you.  It wouldn't let me back on the home network for a while, but finally got that under control.

THANKS.
