I don't see why everyone is so worked up about this.
I am the only one that sees that he has a point? As long has he didn't get a satisfactory answer there is no reason to close the threat. I am guessing he is looking for an answer besides "it could be some sort of bug".

If you follow this forum a while, you’ll see, that it is common sense here that some sort of “überevangelist” (lol-as a german i can tell this is a really ridiculous abuse of my mother tongue) people (don’t want to tell names) frequently stand out with their impolite behaviour - i think you should ignore those wannabe moderators/so-called volunteers … its all a sort of ego thing with those people… maybe too much free time or something like that…
now to your issue:
i think your license renewed because avast ran a program update - with the new avast version, your account is automatically renewed.
It is indeed questionable…because those updates are not directly user-authorized
well - for a normal user this is some sort of comfort - but in your case it is not , i can understand that
i share your thoughts about the ignorance of the avast team - it is not the first time here in this forum…but hey - you are a free user…do not
forget that…
I learned that avast free users (esp. with win8) encounter lots of problems with this piece of software over the time - i only mention: BSODs,Blackscreens,System boot issues (with avast, my win 8 needed 15minutes to boot because of the system integrity check whatsoever), several issues with chrome, dubious network shield patches and so on and so on - it never ends…
free users are some sort of guniea-pig - i guess…
i strongly recommend to deinstall avast free and use a mature piece of security software instead - to my eyes avast 7 and 8 never went out of beta status…although the team claims the opposite…
and the avast team…well yes … my experience tells, they can write nice words, if they find the time, but indeed that is very seldom and on the other hand there are many situations, where nice words don’t help anything…but again: you are a free user … nobody cares about you… thats the hard truth…
