Similar situation here but it was my choice to request a refund on Avast Pro version after having had, used and relied on the Free version for almost two years. According to the system tray icon (red circle with a white x in it), my system is currently unprotected. I have downloaded a new Free setup exe file but as yet have not installed it. The reason for my hesitation is that I’m unsure of whether or not I should uninstall the program entirely (using an uninstaller program to remove all remaining vestiges from the registry), or uninstall but opt to keep Avast registry entries. Won’t some of the briefly used Pro version registry additions be there as well, or would you suggest a for-real uninstall followed by a system restart and then a clean install of the just-downloaded setup file? It shouldn’t take me too long to tweak the settings as they were prior to to Pro install/refund.
