Unhappy Can't get free AVG

I went to the AVG website and filled in the request form. The AVG website said that it would send an e-mail to me so that I could download the free antivirus program. So, the e-mail comes to me and the link brings me back to the original AVG website where I first requested the download! In other words, an endless loop! Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help.

ADZ, that's the same link that I've been trying. I did it again anyway and it's the same ole thing; an endless loop. Has anyone downloaded this in the last several days? If so, how did you do it? I can't seem to get past filling out the AVG website form and getting their e-mail. Their email link just sends me back to their form and the cycle continues.

I've downloaded it this past week, and also today. Just in case, I deleted my cookies and the links still let me download a copy. I'm baffled that you can't download it at all.

Have you contacted them about the download? If so, what do they say?

Dave

I felt that since the website says that there is no technical assistance for the free version that they wouldn't even respond to me.

Let me try to get all of this straight. First, I go to this site:http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php and scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Download AVG Free Addition." Next, I'll agree to the terms and then page 3 will ask me for my name and valid e-mail address, right? I enter that info and go and then it says, "An email message will be sent to your email address dannyual767@cox.net with the link for downloading. After performing the download, you will receive a second email message with your serial number. "

If I go and check my e-mail, there will be an AVG link but, that link is nothing but the same thing that I just filled out ! There is no download button. It takes me right back through the exercise that I just went through! This is the url that was just sent to me again: http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php . This is the exact same thing as above. There is no download button! This is so aggravating !
