[QUOTE="XLR8R, post: 881580, member: 85385"] Nah. Avast makes money out of cross-selling, upgrading free users, making them buy cleanup/antitrack/VPN separately and then also promoting non-Avast products (such as Google Chrome) in their products/installers. Avast wants you to install the free version, because immediately after doing that, you will get a "gift" to upgrade to Premium/Ultimate at a much reduced price. In any case, retail shops and resellers (online and offline) are giving out the licenses for much cheaper than on Avast's site. Avast is very much aware of this as well. The products have been streamlined for both Avast and AVG: No more "Antivirus Pro". Only free, Internet Security/Premium and Ultimate/All-In-One. Avast IS and Avast Premier users both get free upgrades to Avast Premium Security. [/QUOTE]
