I have free Avast has my anti virus every time I start up my laptop it tells me download for a free update to my system and it would last for a couple of weeks and after that time I would be asked if I wanted to keep this download,I just wondered if I am letting myself in for something if I did this.

The "update" box is quite clever....it is designed to make you click on the PAY for version.... which is, (I think ) in green on the right half of the box... if you read it carefully, you need to click on the left half of the box, which is for the current FREE version update....

Or if you get fed up of all such shenanigans, switch to Microsoft Security Essentials and you won't have to worry about being tricked into installing a paid-for version.

All the AV online test reports are paid for or supported by some AV progs to show what they want .
At the end of the day its individual choice which you use if your happy with what you got why change , i have tried most over several years but still say MSE is best free one around , no matter what jims links show
