I’m setting up a new system, so I came here to get a copy of the Avast free version. I clicked the download button for the free version and I got a popup asking me to buy the paid version. The button marked “No thanks, I want free protection” doesn’t work. The close button doesn’t work. It claims that the offer will close in 60 seconds. I let it sit there for three minutes - it didn’t close. The only thing that worked was the “Upgrade” button that takes you to the payment page.
Luckily I knew to right-click the link, copy it and then past the C/Net URL into the address bar.
