Did AVG automatically renew the new program without your permission?

Hello Beverly,
I apologize for the difficulties. You have subscribed for auto renewal of your AVG antivirus program. You will receive notification prior to expiry in your email as a reminder. You also have option in the email to cancel the auto -renewal. It is to inform our users about the expiry and also an opportunity to cancel the renewal if they do not wish.
Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.
Thank you.

I received an email saying my AVG would expire and then a few weeks later they automatically charged me for the new program without me ordering it.
Did anyone else experience this?
