Can anyone tell me the difference between these two? 2007 you pay for and Home Edition you do not.
There’s no avast! 2007.
See here: http://www.avast.com/eng/fraudulent-sales-of-avast-products.html
The avast 2007 is likely to be from a rogue fraudulent site as there is no avast 2007 version. it isn’t a genuine copy of avast. The latest version of avast is 4.7.942 and you or anyone should only download from avast.com or reputable sites, like download,com, etc.
avast! 4 Home is free for home, non-commercial use.
WOW :o. Thank you very much. I checked the 2 sites and 1 was listed as a scam site and the other had the “no affiliation” sentence. I almost feel for it since it included a spyware and registry cleaner program.
Thanks Again!
You could report the 2nd site that wasn’t listed on the fraudulent-sales-of-avast page to avast so they can investigate it and add to the list if applicable. Probably email, support @ avast.com (without the spaces), explain the possible additional site, give iits URL and perhaps a link to this topic.
avastsoft.com is still not on the fraudulent sites list.
As this site is coming up tops of Google paid searche results, doesn’t the site have to pay Google every time someone clicks the link? If so, maybe we should flood them out! 
More seriously, as Google don’t like tarnishing their reputation in THAT way (they have enough ways to do that already by design 
), can’t ALWIL get Google to remove them from all searches ESPECIALLY paid ad ones?
Just a thought.
Fraudulent Sales of AVAST…We all know my story, Some goggle sites fraudulently sell the right to download the free AVAST home software and “technical support” avast mentions these sites on the link included below.
The truth really is that AVAST offers the Home product for free and no one has the right to sell it or services to support it. I contacted the FBI and Department of Agriculture Trade and Consummer Protection and my local police department and I am working with my credit card company to get a charge back on the folks who are setting up spoof sites and pretending to be AVAST.

I lost $35 US dollars and still wanted the real AVAST so I had to purchase it again from AVAST.
I hope this did not happen to you. ???

In due course it will be, it has only been notified in this topic a couple of hours ago, but domain names are cheap and so easily set-up, knock one down another will take its place.

I think you pay in advance for google paid search placement, I don’t know if there would be any click through cost. However, I would suggest you treat it like spam, never respond and don’t visit links, you never know what you might find.

As mentioned in another topic relating to approaching google, http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=27094.0
Another good reason to use SiteAdvisor or a similar product.
:-[ well this is interesting I just bought mine from http://www.ava[broken]stsoft.com
and I don’t like to eat crow. Guess you shouldn’t do things when your tired and have had a long day.

Try using ScanDoo when making these searches through Google as ScanDoo will give you good/bad ratings on such sites.
Hmm, www. avast-2007. com (the most invasive of them all) gets the GREEN mark in scandoo - so I’m afraid this won’t help much… 
Bad point to scandoo… just feel of security and not security itself…
New scam URLs were added to list on http://www.avast.com/eng/fraudulent-sales-of-avast-products.html, they will appear after next website update (in about 1 hour).
I use ScanDoo only as a secondary source. I’ve found them not to be as reliable as SiteAdvisor.
Anyway, SiteAdvisor has, right now, 16 comments about this site is a rogue and SiteAdvisor does not do anything with it that remains unrated… Strange and not that professional from McAfee…
