oh dear its not the same - stil have to buy a full internet security package and the trouble logging in to get info --well - thats enough. Uninstalled and back to free Avast.

Means that the website that had it on as free - lied!   And to get it had to sign up for newsletters etc.

Hi Abby to uninstall Avast - should be easy unless problems on computer.

Go to start-control panel- programs and click in Avast  and uninstall. 

If that doesnt do it then let me know - can help to rid you of it. 

I have a good uninstall program I keep on task bar handy - called Geek - google and get it from owners site. Need an unzip program like 7 zip - probably have one on board  already. But check.

Avsat is a good free Antivirus. You need to run one for sure and maybe you're running Defender and not realizing clashing etc.

Defender is built in and they say improved but still not seem as best these days.

And security packages are all the rage - but have tp pay for them - but if banking on line - need to be careful and have best security - Greed being King these days.............sad eh! 

I'm looking at one myself and googled and seems Kaspersky is top on tests - and not bad on price either.

Meanwhile I have and still use Avast Free and it works - using their safe browser for banking. 

But how long before Australia is targeted more - say to date we have not had full on attacks but coming - could be sales tool but - Greed drives all and ripping of fbank accounts must be top of their list of freebees...........
