Default Avast Anti-V program expires soon..

Hi guys,

Someone recommended Avast to me and I have been using it for only a few weeks.

Now there is Avast alert everytime I boot up my computer saying my trial period for my Avast Home Edition is expired soon.

What should I do with it? Are there any other FREE version of anti-v that doesn't require any renewal procedures?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Avast Home Edition is free, but you need to register it with an email address. Avast will then send you a free license key to your email address which you use to register the software. License keys expire after one year, at which time you'll have to re-register.

AVG Free - Download antivirus and antispyware software for Windows XP and Vista


Free AVG, once its installed, you never have to re-new or re-install it again, and theres never any queries about if you'd like to upgrade or not. Just install it and off you go!


Ive never had any issues with it, it has an update practically everday (which you can turn off if you really want), you can decide if you want it to scan regularly or not, and has a context-menu options when using windoze explorer etc, and its also one of the least system-hogging AV's available!


(I really should get sponsored by AVG, but then again, its free!)

Registration of avast! 4 Home Edition - free antivirus for home non-commercial use

Go there sign up with a email address and get 14 months of protection for free. All you need is a legit email address. After the 14 months just sign up again. Really simple.
