AVG/Avast now the same company so either will suffice. I've used both.

Didn't know that, better still, thanks!

I did not know that either ...You learn something new every day  :)

Hi all,

May I belatedly join in please.   I have had AVG Free on my computer for a number of years and 2 or 3 months ago inadvertently clicked the Internet Security trial, but did not take up the offer.
Since then I am at a total loss: the screen display is different, and I can't make head or tail of it.
I used to have it auto-set to scan my computer weekly, but now it doesn't happen.  If I click on 'Scan Now' it mostly doesn't work (twice only) and I get a box in red that says my Internet Security trial has expired and invites another trial (or purchase).   
Anyone out there able to advise me please.

Regards

When something similar happened to me, I think I removed the free AVG and free trial and then downloaded the free AVG again. Someone may know an easier way though.

Jim1 & Groom,

Have uninstalled/reinstalled AVG Free as you suggested and hopefully it's done the trick. Scanned computer without the message "Internet Security' trial has expired" appearing.

Had a worrying moment re-installing AVG when Windows Defender suddenly jumped in, saying it needed to scan my computer but then said it couldn't, for some unknown reason.  Cancelled it and AVG finished installing.  Fingers crossed things will now be ok.

Hopefully in conclusion, can either of you guide me on setting up a periodic scan?
