Avg Free requires subscription?

Today the program displays in the notifications center that "your avg free protection has expired", and now I get propted to buy the full version. Is this supposed to be normal? I thought the free version did not come with an expiring time?

Hello Simona,

I will help you with the necessary information. AVG AnitVirus does comes with an expiry date, the program you install will work for a year after that you may have to reinstall AVG AntiVirus program on your computer. This is implemented so all the free users install the updated version of AVG AntiVirus program regularly.

I also want to add that avg free aparently works as usual. The same problem happened to my husband yesterday, and we use different accounts for your product. I don't get if this is a bug or an intended feature, I'm running the last version of avg free, if that can help.

alright, I downloaded avg free setup from your official website and ran it. After the restart, the problem disappeared. Thanks.
