Resetting Software Updater in Avast Antivirus Software Updater helps keep commonly used third party software up to date to eliminate potential security risks. Malicious threats or attackers often use leaks in outdated software to access your PC.
HelloI have Avast Premier offering me a 30-day free extension of SecureLine trial. When I try to take the offer, I am taken to Paypal which then asks me to 'add a debit or credit card to complete the purchase'.The reason I am using Paypal in the first place is that I do not want use any card online. I just top up my Paypal account when needed.Is there EITHER a way I can get my free trial without any card OR is there a way I can get a paid trial period that I pay through Paypal without using any card?I dare not buy a year of service outright that I can't be sure performs well on my machine.Unsecurely yours, Shamino.
