Free avg 8.5 premium version

i was going to go for the free basic version then came across this offer on the AVG site.

basically you get the full version for free if you select an offer from one of their advertisers.

i chose a music download offer from E Music i think it was called as it seemed the easiest.

just click on the link and register your details (you have to register a payment card for verification) and they give you 25 free downloads over 7 days. after that you can continue to subscribe (for a monthly payment) for downloads or cancel.

after registration with E Music i got an email with a link to AVG to download the full version. once i downloaded AVG i cancelled my account with E Music and have not been charged a single penny (got a email from them confirming my account was cancelled)

here's the link....this is not spam before everyone starts jumping down my throat, i am not benefiting at all and those nay sayers can do a search themselves and find the offer on the AVG site..

AVG Free - Download installation files & documentation

Re: Free avg 8.5 premium version

Just a warning if you join any emusic offer.

Sometimes they will take money off your card even if you have cancelled well in time or downloaded fewer songs than you're entitled to during the trial (I would post links for proof, but the mods will probably delete them).

If anyone goes ahead with it, may I suggest to keep checking your credit card / bank statement regularly - once a month at least.

seems all above board for me, got cancellation email from E Music, confirming i wont be getting charged and account was cancelled. what else can i say, i got the software for free and the promotion was advertised via AVG (see my link). you dont have to use E Music, you can trial one of the other offers, Love Film Etc (30 day trial) and cancel at any time.

That sounds a lot better abs . Never had problems cancelling with LoveFilm - it's the remembering that seems to be the toughest part!
