AVAST pop ups. How to get rid.

I believe someone else has asked about this and have gone back about ten pages trying to find it but no luck.

Every time I boot up there is a red pop up from Avast warning me that my free version has expired. I click it to get rid of it and then an almost full page red warning appears. That too goes away after one click.

The free version is still working.
Does anyone know how to get rid of the pop-ups?

  • It's still working, but it isn't updating. Follow the link in the pop-up, stick in your details and it'll all be hunky-dory again. Less than a minute's work.

    You can put fake details (including email address) in if you're that way inclined, but Avast doesn't spam you so there's no reason to do that.
    I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.
    But, if the white runs out, I'll drink the red.

    I think with the free Avast, you get 30 days to register after first installing, and then once registered you get 12 months. As WhiteChristmas says, just re-register - it costs nothing.

    It may be 'working' , but its no longer up to date

    As above, you need to rgister (or re-register), which is free
