Avast anti-virus

Odie · 10-14-2009, 02:58 AM

I have had this free for 3 months and its free forver....then something pops up saying I now need a key number to continue?

I have now registered 4 times to have this key number, no one has emailed me back.

In the meantime I have no anti-virus that is working.

What other programs offer completely free that are dependable, and I don't mean the ones that say free, only to sign up and register and to find out then its only the first 3 months that are free?

thankyou

Here you go Odie

AVG Free - AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition

I've used this before and it was okay

This one is also highly rated:

Avira AntiVir Personal - FREE Antivirus

Avira or AVG?

My Avast is telling me the trial period will end soon. I also was under the impression it was free and not just a trial offer.

As I have searched Avast it is continued free, but as said, you have to register for a ticket after the 3 months, and I have now registered 4 times, and received no emails to confirm?

I tried Avira but its denying me access.

Is it Avira or AVG that is only a 3 month trial offer?

What message do you get from Avira that denies you access? My husband has Avira. He hasn't gotten any notices saying his trial period has ended.

AVG is the 3 month trial.

the other one just says I don't have permission to access that page.

I had used AVG for years and years. After their last upgrade though, it became nothing but problems. I tend to try to stay away from it now. I'm not particularly fond of Avira either since it let that Cyber Security nightmare into my husband's computer although I know that no antivirus is going to catch everything. I'll do a search when I am more wide awake and will let you know if I find any other free ones.

I use "SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition". Knocks spots of all the other free stuff Odie.

AVG Pro is given with a three month trial period.

AVG Free is free unlimited.
