Avast Antivirus Reviews

Do not use Avast! They offered me a discount to renew, which I took, then charged me an additional full price of $77. Still disputing with my bank. They suck!!

The product works ok, BUT they will steal as much as they possibly can from you via "free trials" that you get charged for even after canceling. Also, they want you to upgrade, but enter a second subscription. I received a settlement from a class action lawsuit, but they only gave a partial refund via extension for the double subscription. A bunch of criminals.

I would give zero stars if I could. Terrible customer service. I cancelled my service and never received a refund. They make cancelling and making any changes to your account very difficult. Not worth the stress to me, I wouldn’t want it if it’s free!

As mentioned in earlier reviews, getting a refund from Avast is nearly impossible. After cancelling the standard anti-virus coverage I did receive a refund after calling. there was another billing for an optional coverage a month later. I have been trying to get that money back for 9 months. I have called 7 different times. Each time I was promised that I would receive a refund and that they would expedite my claim. The last email I sent to inquire on the progress of my refund, I received AI response stating my inquiry has been closed. Isn't this just stealing?

This the most annoying software I ever seen, since I bought my first PC. Please leave me alone Avast. I hate everything you try to install your stupid useless antivirus. You are the the virus. You destroying my laptop, my career.

In October, I requested a refund and cancellation of a recurring subscription. I have sent various emails and forwarded my bank details. Jelena, Customer service, said my refund has been processed as a manual payment. Well..... Still no refund. Has my money been STOLEN.

Predatory Auto-Renewals, Terrible Customer Service, and Impossible Cancellations. I normally don’t write reviews, but my experience with Avast was so frustrating and costly that I feel obligated given my experience. I have never encountered such predatory renewal practices and unresponsive customer support from a major software company. Avast makes it incredibly easy to sign up for their antivirus service—but once they have your payment information, they make it nearly impossible to leave. Their auto-renewal process feels intentionally deceptive, and the company seems to rely on customers missing fine print or renewal emails that often never arrive.

When you remove it lots of dangerous code remains on your PC, this is spyware that logs your tracking and key strokes. Do not use this program as it it will compromise your security and safety big time.

The software is fine. Customer service, not so much. I cancelled my subscription when I bought a new computer. 6 Days later, they charged my credit card and after a lengthy 'chat', they will refund only 50% of the charge. I left a bad review on another site, and they asked me for more information (which I provided), but DID NOTHING. They ripped me off, so I do not recommend.

Hi guys, I have had a real real bad issue happen with Avast anti-virus. Well here it goes. I have a pc. I just got a week ago, now it's doa. Here's what happened, hold on or sit down, you'll need to for this..... I just bought my threadripper pc, as many of you know, this is not a cheap system. In fact, to buy a new one you're looking at 9k to 15k for these pc's. Now here is what happened......
