AVAST - Trial period Expiry message (I thought it was Free)

supersaver09

For the last couple of days i've been getting a message from Avast telling me my "Trial Period" will be up soon & to continue receiving protection, i have to upgrade.

I was under the impression that Avast was totally free. :rolleyes:

Anyone know of a way to get it free, or any other "free" virus protection?

It is free - you just need to go to the Avast website and register it. They give you a short grace period before you have to do it.

You have to register it to be free.

If you don't like Avast, try Avira: http://download.cnet.com/Avira-AntiVir-Personal-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10322935.html?part=dl-10322935&subj=dl&!!!!!button&cdlPid=11012914

After 60 days you'll need to register and get a license key, then you'll need to renew every year thereafter. If you're using the free edition it's all definitely free.
