Im guessing this buy out has turned avast to crap.
As weve had no replies from devs i would say check ebay or amazon out.
as previously said, ive now got a 3 year licence key for 10 pc’s for cheaper than a 1 pc for 1 year direct from avast. ive still got 7 free licence keys to use but its worth wasting them and still getting the full package.
actually i forgot to mention this earlier, ive always used premium but the key defaulted to ultimate which was set to default. i then removed it and changed back to premium.
If they wont listen to their members then buy from elsewhere for much cheaper. sooner or later they will notice their income drop and they will soon change things.
I was using a key from there. It’s reached it final now, but they’re bugging me way to early to buy again 
so i guess you saved quite a bit of money like me so just buy another key early and enter it and the adds will stop. yes you may lose a month of previous licence but in the long run youve saved on cost.
