We have very little if any control over our accounts. If we need to make a change, we have to contact CS to have the change made: i.e. method of payment, change of cc, or canceling account. The basic features worked good. The big problem is the deceptive way the company tries to trick you into purchasing more features that you really do not need. They do this when it is time to renewed the account and sometimes every time you turn on your computer. I have also caught many false positives.
The last time, I got hounded into trying new features, I said that is enough and had my account canceled. It was good at letting me know about updates needed. If they would stop pushing features that turn out to be untested and sometimes turn out to be bad, I probably would still have Avast in my computer. I do have the free version in my second computer, but will not put the pro version in like I had on my work computer.
Hi, Susan:
We're glad to hear you were pleased with our basic features and protection, but we're sorry to hear you had issues changing your payment method. If you still require assistance with this, you can contact us privately and we'll be happy to help.
While we do notify our customers about our additional features and services, we offer our upgraded customers the ability to adjust these notifications by clicking Menu>Settings>Privacy and unchecking the appropriate boxes.
