Why pay for Home version when its free? Or did you mean Pro version.
Yes! The best strategy to keep Avast Home free might be to pay for the Pro version. (That makes more sense.)
People are more likely to brag on a great free AV than a paid version. At least one person that I recommended avast! to bought the Pro version. He came up to me after trying the free Home Edition & said it is awesome. He was using Kaspersky, avast! found & removed stuff that KAV couldn't find. He bought the Pro because he liked the layour better than in the Home Edition.
Us avast! Home Edition users do earn our keep.

I didn't mean to imply that any avast! Home, non-commercial users (
especially forum contributors) should be motitvated to buy Pro by guilt or feeling of obligation.
It just seems to me that if more people who
can pay,
do pay, the more likely it is that Alwil will continue to be able to provide such a comprehensive AV for free.
Also, would you say that the guy who ended up buying 'Pro' after trying 'Home', decided to
feed the hand that bites! ...the malware that is.
