Avast - cheap license - is it legal? Is my security at risk?
« on: November 19, 2020, 08:23:20 AM »
Hello everyone  ;D ,

Last week I bought cheap Avast Premium license on one of the auction sites. I activated it, but i found out that license is used on 86 of 10 devices  :-X  :o.
Is it legal? What should i do right now?
Is my security at risk?

Currently I reinstalled the antivirus and I am using 30 day trial version and I am doing that cool task to get 6 month license ;) .

Well, i bought it on popular auction site, I am sure it is safe, but key belongs to someone's account and it is activated on 86 devices.

I'm wondering why Avast hasn't already banned the license ???

Live and learn, you've been scammed ::)
