I thought that my renewal was AVAST PREMIUM SECURITY since my current licence indicates this title, is there a mistake?
My complaint is that we're always being offered additional protection that seems essential, which is why I signed up and now I can't find my way around. I suppose this is due to commercial interests and makes me reluctant to continue. Why not make a global software package?
