AVG anitvirus expired - help?

My AVG trial period has expired - is there anyway I can re-instate this without purchasing?

    This is a link to their free edition. Most people i know say it is enough.
    I am a fee charging WoM Mortgage broker.
    I now no longer give information and opinion within the Mortgage boards, because a number of posters who, having approached me professionally, agreed my fee-which has been been made very clear at the outset, taken my advice (normally cancelling a [home visit] meeting at short notice) have then approached one of the fee-free brokers on here to arrange the very same deal I have advised.
    Whilst I totally concur with the ethos of "money saving"- abusing the goodwill of a professional who provides a quality service is taking it too far! :mad:

    Sounds like you installed one of the trial versions - remove this (there should be an 'un-install' in the AVG program menu/folder), then use stanmoresaver's link - scroll down to bottom of the page ignoring the trial for business versions.

    Thanks - don't know where my head was the day I installed that! All sorted now.
