Avg trial-only mode

How do we know if we have the trial version installed?  I was given the same message, and installed the version the program itself linked me to/had me install.

Also, if we do truly have this "trial version", how long will it last, and does it do the same job as the regular Antivirus Free?

Hello Michael,

It seems that you might have installed the trial version on your PC. Please uninstall AVG Internet Security from the control panel and install the basic version referring this article http://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=Download-and-install-AVG-AntiVirus-Free

I only have AVG Free - no paid services - but suddenly I am getting this message on AVG Free:-

"You'll be in trial-only mode until you activate your subscription"

What does it mean? I have no subscription to activate.

How do we know if we have the trial version installed?  I was given the same message, and installed the version the program itself linked me to/had me install.

Also, if we do truly have this "trial version", how long will it last, and does it do the same job as the regular Antivirus Free?
