AVG and Avast

Hello guys,

So i got this problem. I turned on my computer and i got message from AVG that my license expired, though it is due to mid June. So they offered me this deal that instead of $59 for a year i can get it for $19 or something like that but thats not the point. So I was about to purchase it but then they offered me Avast Premium for like half a price the original so I bought that one and now when i try to install Avast it always shows some errors but seems like me AVG got all the additional services that were promised in Avast. My question is, should I just uninstall AVG and install Avast or just leave it like that? Also, now my AVG shows that i have license for another 60 days but i already bought Avast, any suggestions what to do about it ?

Hello Roderik,

You have an active subscription of AVG Internet Security valid till 6/17/2018.

If you have purchased Avast security, you can uninstall AVG from your computer and install this latest version of Avast program on your computer.

You cannot install both this products together, as they will conflict with each other.

Hi again, 

Thanks for a quick answer. Problem is I only bought Avast cause AVG said that my subscription was over and told me to buy a new one. Is there anything that can be done about this ?

In this case, you can get refund for Avast program you have purchased and continue to use your active AVG subscription for until June.

Click on this link http://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=Download-and-install-AVG-Protection to install the latest version of AVG Internet Security and use the license number you have to activate the product.

You can get the license number from your https://myaccount.avg.com/my-account-login AVG MyAccount.

Hello Roderik,
AVG Internet Security and Avast Premier engine are almost same. So if you think it's cheaper then AVG then you can keep Avast for your computer protection.
Feel free to contact us again if you need any further assistance.
Best regards,
Alok.
