Can't access the userface for avg free and just get a grey screen with pink writing saying my security trial is up. Have tried all sorts of permutations of re-installing, changing, mending etc but it's still the same. All I get is a little box in the bottom right hand of the screen saying protection is on with an option to scan. No indication of what's happening or happened and have spent the last 3 hours trying to figure this out. Not happy.
