If you want support for avast! from Avast, get it here:
http://www.avast.com/support

If you want to get scammed, as you almost did, then pick a third party.
The link you posted has nothing to do with Avast.
The forum is probably the best place to get advice on anything computer and avast! related.
The price is certainly cheaper than any other service. ;D

Bob you forgot to say how cheap. It is just one “Thank you guys my Avast! is running great” :wink:
