How to stop the nagging!
Did you upgrade your AVG free antivirus software recently, and are now being told your free trial is about to expire?
You may have been distracted by the word 'free' in 'free trial' when upgrading and selected the wrong option, i.e. the time limited free trial of the full paid for version.
However all is not lost.
Simply go to Control Panel and select 'Change or Delete Programs'. From the list it presents, select AVG 2013 and then select the 'change' option.
An AVG installation configuration screen will appear, and one of the options has a button marked 'Downgrade'. This option will have the effect of downgrading the installation to the free version of AVG 2013, not to the previous version you had before you upgraded in the first place!
Select this and follow the instructions.
If during this process Windows pops up a message saying the firewall is disabled, you can follow that message and enable Windows firewall (so that takes over from AVG firewall)
When invited to reboot, do so, and all is done.
This was new and very annoying to me! I found that once I restarted my computer when it told me to, I got stuck in a messy loop of it ALWAYS telling me I needed to restart! I uninstalled and got the right one this time!
