Avast billed for a renewal of Driver updater... I have NOT authorised auto-renew but they billed me anyway!! Illegal or what? Can't contact them because their 'contact us' page just runs a continuous rotating 'wait' icon. Anyone had the problem? Cheers. Chris.

Hi,

Your auto-renewal subscription has been cancelled.
Please note that with each purchase you are informed that each subscription is continuous and after the initial subscription period, you will be charged unless you cancel at least 15 days before the next period begins.

I have been writing through FB, Twitter about the same issue. How can I get a refund?

Thanks but not following reply. I used the official route but the return mail comes back to say it recognises none of my emails yet it billed my card.
