They provide free service. I count myself as a customer of free service. Moment free avast wont be available then problem will be solved. Till then every customer has full right to demand fix for this asap and reason why these predatory tactics being used on us. People like you are reason these “accidents” happen. Do you realise many PCs become unprotected and vulnerable when license expires with no way of prolonging it without either paying or complicated uninstall/reinstall process.
And 0 word from Avast support team here, for weeks now…..0 communication, 0 info when/if this gets fixed.
