I bought this Avast anti-virus a month ago and since then I had to use only my computer at work.
This product was so terrible that I had to re-install ALL MY PROGRAMS including the operating system.
Lost most of my files. TERRIBLE.
NOW I JUST WANT A REFUND BUT AM ALSO UNABLE.
CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW I CAN CLAIM IT?

Thanks,

Mongol

Did you check the main avast homepage? They should have a customer support area where you can email them...

May i ask what exactly was the cause for you to lose all the data? And what exactly makes you think it was avast!'s fault?
I mean, did it make a false positive on a system file, did it detect virus in almost all your files (if yes, what was the name of the virus?) or did it cause an infinite blue screens of death? Maybe something else? I'd just like to hear what was the reason for your extremely bad experience with avast!. Thanks.

As for the refund, it's best to submit a ticket here:
http://support.avast.com/

Or contacting them directly by mail at sales@avast.com

As you can see help is too late here

he already format his computer

look at his post.

this is the effect of final installation without knowing what is the product first.

even he installed other security software it will also happen like this.

because if his/her computer is infected with a rootkit, it will hide the real file and replace it with an exe folder. this can be cured by folder option show hidden file. but if the computer is hijacked he cannot use the folder option.

or

after installing he suffer from loop reboot cause also of rootkit that hide the system at start-up is not present because it is hidden, cannot find the file, etc.

and his decision is final to get refund.

Regards!!!

the guy would have posted the same sort of stuff on any other forum after acquiring any other software. Not worth bothering...

There should be no problem with a refund, just send an email to sales@avast.com, or call in CET working hours.

RAGE ;D ;D

Pardon my amusement at your anger, you simply remind me of myself.
The instructions and email address above should lead you to a refund.
In the future, I would ALWAYS do the trial before you buy.

But people here could try and help get it working for you also, if you find some hidden reserve of patience. :)
