...with just one little exception for "fr-eu": there's no "Choosing the right Avast product" option.
Yes, this part isn't shown in German either.

webform is now (1-1-'20) taken offline. no further service by avast then some faqs that dont help and  an expensive usa phone number
As you're located in Europe, use: https://support.avast.com/en-eu/contact/enter
It still gets you to the same Avast Support Forum. :)
No, the difference is that you don't get an US phone number but a webform for sales requests.
After investigating , I think Bob's basically right for "free version"
Although the form is there, "Technical support for a free Avast product" does not allow individual contact with avast , just like piet118 said

Free version is dependent on this forum
webform contact is only useful for paying versions

you get to the FAqs pages, but a-at least i- dont get to the webform anymore, so no change of getting help for problems that are not in the Faqs. The link used to bring you to the WEBFORM, what is a hidden way of sending an email. that way is cut of now. people searching for  solutions to their problems are not told to get to the forum and are only left with an expensive  phone number. BAd service!! :( :( >:( . By european law customer service needs to be easy reachable and it is NOT. so Avast is hiding itscustomer services illegally. you jide this fact by  massive answering to my posting with inacurate info. that is also bad :( why? arre you ashamed for your bad  and illegal service-hiding?. so ill start it a new in a new topic. i think its a thing to discus. so please dont fill it with spam this time

Nothing has been brought back, they were always available (at least for Europe).

You bought the avast security suite here.
So I don't quite understand why you say "...are only left with an expensive phone number."
I don't see anything complicated or hidden to find the support link.
Just 3 (simple) steps after you click on the link you indicate #1 to bypass the FAQs or expensive phone number ... ask the question directly to avast.
Otherwise, either there's something preventing you from completing the three steps, or I don't understand your expectations.
