Problem with avg free 2017

I set up avg free today. Now when I try to do a scan it just gives me a link to buy the full edition and nothing else. I just want to run a scan not buy a product

Hello Les,

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.
The AVG Protection scan for virus will not ask you to purchase whereas the AVG PC TuneUp scan will ask you to purchase the license for the program.
Could you please confirm whether the issue is with the Protection scanning or is it for PC TuneUp?
Does the AVG Protection shows as AVG Antivirus free or as AVG Internet Security?
