Given all that, they should have stepped up and either taken care of the issue with an update OR put up steps on how to solve it.

They actively messaged that thereвЂ™s вЂnothing to loseвЂ™ from using the trial.

There was no option to opt out of the вЂtrialвЂ™.

I did not ask for the installation of the вЂPremiumвЂ™ product trial.

Agreed itвЂ™s a free product and will not merit levels of support that youвЂ™d get for something that you pay for. If that was so, then Avast! should have done something about it вЂ“ however, looks like they donвЂ™t believe much in that. I definitely wasnвЂ™t the only one affected but looks like a small but sizable user population was affected. The suggestions offered вЂ“ buy a license, uninstall and re-install Avast etc were just not Ok.

Google did not reveal any simple fixes вЂ“ AvastвЂ™s community forum had help! Avast Internet Security trial expired, no internet connection and Avast Internet Security Trial seems to have affected my internet connection. Opened Avast! gui and there are no panels for turning the thing offвЂ¦ Its reverted back to the free version вЂ“ but has killed my net connection in the process! Not a happy camper at this point вЂ“ still wasnвЂ™t worried since I figured thereвЂ™ve got to be tons of users with the same problem and it probably has a simple fix. So up comes device manager and under Network Devices I see a whole lot of вЂavast! NDIS filterвЂ™ virtual devices showing up. Turns out that the WIFI just wouldnt connect. This morning I finally sat down to see what was up.

I offered that up as a solution and a few hours later am told that it hasnвЂ™t fixed the issue. Now my wifi dongle on the home pc does once in a while show up with a вЂLimited connectionвЂ™ thatвЂ™s quickly fixed with either disabling and enabling the dongle or unplugging it and putting it back in the USB port. Remembering the notices about the trial expiring and reverting back to the free version, I chose to ignore all the warnings till yesterday afternoon when the wife called me up at work about вЂinternet not working from the home machineвЂ™. The good thing about the internet security product was that it was discreet вЂ“ in fact, safe to say that I even forgot that I installed it. About a fortnight ago, I started getting warnings about вЂyour trial licenses is about to expireвЂ™ and so on. Not much of an option and you canвЂ™t blame them for trying to push their products and convert free users to paying ones вЂ“ so I went ahead with the upgrade. AviraвЂ™s update process said I could revert back to the free Antivirus version anytime without a re-install or a re-anything! Now I had no need for this (I use COMODO firewall which has been quite good) however, there was no way around it.

Some months ago (or maybe was it a year ago?) there was a program update and it wanted me to install вЂAvira Internet SecurityвЂ™. ItвЂ™s been mostly good though IвЂ™ve had some reservations about it вЂ“ namely, nag pop-ups and so on. So I use вЂfree for personal useвЂ™ Avast Antivirus at home for the past couple of years.
