yes i know about that. but my webcam stop working right after i install avast. the driver is fine and camera is still detected by browser. is there any way to try this trial so i can somehow set all cam shield protection off(tried 2 mastercard, both failed), i dont know if i even need to do that so my camera can work again? or is there some other way to  enable it again?

You don't need any CC for a trial, see: https://www.avast.com/premium-security#pc

If you're using windows 10, type Camera into the search bar and you should see this:

Select Camera

That should open your cam.
