I had tried to purchase the Avast Anti virus program on line. The first attempt I got no confirmation, only a comment in red ink. I tried to do the same again, same result. Then I called the Avast company on the phone and ordered a one year subscription. Earlier over the inter-net I had ordered two year subscriptions. Later I discovered that I had three order numbers. I called back on the 'phone and asked them to cancel both the two year subscriptions, and I would keep the one year subscription. I was assured that would be done and that it would reflect on my VISA bill in fifteen days. I just received my VISA bill ans I see three charges for the same item. 1) Nov 01 - Nov 02 $20.89
2) Nov 01 - Nov 02 $64.99
3) Nov 01 - Nov02 $64.99
For a total of $150.87 Please ensure I have a refund of $129.98 a.s.a.p.
I would like to post a complaint about an Avast product, like the previous person. Please let me know how to go about this. My e-mail address is Thank you.
I also had a charge by the same outfit. Never ordered anything from avast. When I put my email address and last four digits of my credit card into their system which was supposed to tell me what I had ordered, it didnt' work. Looks like avast is a bunch of crooks!
Dear woggy,
If you were chagred from the account "DRI*WWW.AVAST.COM ELEMENT5.INFO", this is becasue you had purchase a product/service from avast antivirus (www.avast.com).
Element 5, is a Digital Rivers company and is one of the worlds largest online shop providers.
avast antivirus online shopping is run entirely on our behalf by element5, so all transactions are performed on Element5's site. This may be the reason why you did not recognize the name "DRI*WWW.AVAST.COM ELEMENT5.INFO" on your credit card statement.
However, if you are certain you did not made the purchase, it's most likely that your credit card was used fraudulently by
identity theft, in this case, it is adviced to contacted your bank immediately to initiate a chargeback.
If you need further help in this matter or clarification on your order, please do not hesitate to contact avast antivirus at "sales@avast.com"
Sincerely,
Your avast! antivirus team
took my money and didn't send purchased upgrade
I was offered the opportunity by avast.com to upgrade a free version of avast anti-virus to the paid license for the avast professional edition. I purchased the 2 year upgrade. They debited my account for the purchase price immediately and the confirmation page stated that I would receive the purchased license number within 48 hours. It never came.
After two weeks I attempted to contact them and discovered that they did not have a customer support number or email address - and the listed email contact numbers were non-working addresses. I then began to use the "resend paid license" link on a daily basis in order to get them to send or resend the purchased product - with no result.
I even contacted one of their listed 'resellers' in the usa in hope that they might have a direct way in which I could contact them regarding the situation and was informed that he did not have a direct contact address or email and they are notorious for this type of thing.
It has been almost a month now and every attempt I have made to contact them has resulted in 'undeliverable' emails and no response to the "resend paid license" forms. Although the free product is good - I strongly discourage anyone from purchasing the 'paid for' "upgrade" as this appears to be a scam.
Was billed on my visa credit card for $42.39 for DRI*AVASTSOFTWA. and never requested anything from them. Please give me my money back.
upgrade would not install, I cancelled, they billed me anyway on the same day, 19 Mar 20012.
Was billed on my American Express Card 34.99 for Computer HRDWR/SETW, date 7/14.14. I have not requested anything from AVAST.
I was double charged for AVAST software. On June 12, 2014, I was charged $21.54 for the software. Again, on June 16, 2014, I was charged $21.54 for the software. Please credit me for the second charge.
non-functioning product
I paid for a 2 year subscription, $56, 2 hours ago, downloaded, etc., and immediately was notified that "your subscription has expired and you are not eligible for updates." I have contacted them three times without reply. Get your money back through your cc -- not careful workers there. Get AVS instead.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

I keep getting notices that my Avast protection is expired, however I see that Iwas billed on Jan 3, 2012 for $47.8. Please let me know how I can get this corrected. MACK
I paid for THREE PC downloads.. I've downloaded one, and now Element 5 (for AVAST) will not allow me to download the other TWO because 31 days have gone by since my purchase! I can't believe this. I waited to download to the other computers based upon their expiration dates of the Avast currently on their computers.
Now they are attempting to bill me yet again!
On 2 /14/2011 my credit card was billed for 1 year renewal of Avast but i still receive notices that it has expired. What is their telephone number so I can speak to a rep. about this? This is very annoying, Thanks, T H DENNIS GOLFNUT2@HORIZONVIEW.NET

Read full review of Avast Software and 15 commentsfraudulent billing
Recently I selected a website that appeared to be the Avast Anti-virus Software site. It indicated that I could purchase the Home Editon with one-year support for just over $12. I selected this option, entered my credit card info, etc. Then noticed that I was being billed for the 3-year support costing over $52. I was then instructed to click on a link to download the software. The next screen presented showed that I could have downloaded a free edition of Avast. Had I known about this in the first place, that would have been the option I would have selected. I later discovered that it was Software-HQ that I had ordered from - info shown on the website was misleading. They will not answer phone calls. They did respond to my email but did not address my complaint. Instead, they said my membership fee that I apparently had signed up for (unknown to me) was non-refundable.

I would first get a hold of the company that sells avast. It is a company that has products that gets rid of virus's on your computer. Try avast.com first. This is the second time I heard about this company. Be aware of it, in the future.
