Pardon my ignorance, but I was searching for some free computer security… I found, and read about Avast! at download.com. So I downloaded it and installed it and am currently running it. My question - it appears to only be free for 30-days, but from things that I’ve read it sounds like there is a free version that isn’t time limited. Am I mistaken, or how could I track that one down - if it exists?
No, you’ve to register once a year (for free).

Excellent - thank you!
You’re welcome.
The avast free version is free, but you must register it (as mentioned), until you do you are effectively using it as a trial with 30 days use.
From the avastUI > Maintenance > Registration - here you can register avast free using the Register Now button.
- this gives you 365 days registration, which you have to renew next year.
I have been using avast free for a little over nine years.
