Free AVG Download problem?

I downloaded the free AVG software on to my computer It was fine for a while. Now it is telling me that I will have to buy it or lose the protection. I did not have this problem until I upgraded to 8.5. Has this happened to anyone else?

    You just downloaded the wrong version. You downloaded the pay version instead of the free version. Go to Http://www.download.com and it's always the number one download. Select that one and you will be OK.

    The pay version offers you some more protection such as their firewall and spam guard but the free one works great as well.

    Also there is another called Avaist that's always in the top ten as well. It works great as well, but it does have a nag screen always offering it to you at a discount. If you have any other questions drop me a email and I'll help.

    Uninstall the pay version before you install the free. And both of these anti virus programs work with 64 bit operating systems as well.

    All the AVGs are not free,there is one free AVG ,AVG PRO and AVG internet security.i think u clicked the Pro ones which has only 30 days trial.thats why you are getting that sort of message.
