On 17/08/2015 I received an email from Avast, stating “This is just a reminder that we will automatically renew your avast! Internet Security - 1 PC, 1 Year subscription (Order ID: 8762204060) on 17 July 2015.”
On 20/07/15, I sent U this. “It is the 20th of the month. The automatic update seems to have failed. I dont want my subscription to lapse. Please dont let that happen.”
On 22/07/15 at 7:30 AM ( New Zealand time) when a message appeared on my screen saying that “my computer was unprotected because my Avast Internet Security had expired”
I immediately installed the new version paying $49.99 NZD.
I have since received this email from avast.

This forum is the only way I can find to communicate with Avast. If I choose to re-activate my Avast protection, I will be billed $29.99 for what I have already bought. Can I expect a refund?

You may post the support ticket Number here once you receive it and we’ll alert Avast to help get your question an answer.
Why did you take 29.99 from my master card 2 months before my licence has expired ? Why didnt you asked me do I want a renual of my acount ?
How can I turn of automatic renual ? I would really like to be asked before someone takes my money !!!
