Initial Business Response /* (1000, 10, 2015/04/27) */
Customer called in because he was having an issue with the computer going into a sedate mode after purchasing the GrimefighterThe agent did connect into the customer computer and did a diagnostic; the agent showed that customer has the errors
on the computerThe agent then offered ATS to address the issue on the computerShe agreed to services and was transferred to the technicians for assistanceAfter working with the technicians customer called in on that day and requested a summary of what was found and what was doneThe retention agent advised her that a list of tools for the programs were available but not a specific list of what was foundWe are unable to provide the customer with a detailed list of what was found, as we do not have a log of each and every issue identified that we can share
Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 12, 2015/04/28) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
They admitted they "had" a list of errors, but will not comply with said list
Therefore they cannot "prove" that there was ANYTHING wrong with my computerBecause a diagnostic can not be performed to confirm that said alleged errors are gone
The program that initially did not work BEFORE the ATS continued to not work AFTERIn my opinion the program is at fault NOT my computerAVAST simply wanted to charge for ATS on an alleged list of errors
I believe a refund is reasonable since They CANNOT provide a list of errors repairedAnd The ATS work performed targeted to fix an error preventing their program from working was ineffective

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
Simply saying "I am forwarding this case to our refund department who will be in contact with you very soon to discuss a refund" is not a sufficient responseI have read dozens of complaints about AVAST in which they say they are refunding the customer and then do not follow through***I will not accept this response until I have received a complete refund and will continue to hold this company accountable until that has occurred.***

I did try to contact their customer support, and tech support when I could not get ahold of anyone elseI even tried callingSince my machine was infected with trojans and other malware after they unexpectedly cut me off I have had trouble getting copies of my emails to themIt is off my computer and after reading all the problems others have had with them I see why they are so badThey did not give me a refund I received only one email from them advising me how to get back with them this after I asked for a refund so they must have gotten my email to respond as such
Final Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2015/12/29) */
Customer was already refunded as he requested in our support portal
Final Consumer Response /* (2000, 11, 2016/01/04) */
(The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.)
The money finally was given back in very late Dec probably due to the holiday

Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2015/11/19) */
Unfortunately, we cannot process a refund for this customer based on our refund policy
All Avast programs can be used days for free as a trial, and additionally we offer a day money back guarantee from the date of purchase (days in
total)
Customer asked for a refund months from a day of purchase
That said, we are happy, of course, to offer support and assistance for any Avast issue for the duration of the license
Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2015/11/20) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I would agree with a "no refund" after day policy if the product worked and/ or was able to be fixed by the support personnel to which they have said will helpI have tried several times to do just as the support people have told me to doI have had Avast Total support (to which I paid an additional $179) even do try to do it for me at least three times
It still to this day (Nov 20, 2015) does not work or even try to connectI have had at least three support techs and one supervisor help with this situation....the product to which they charged me for two years service has not worked and IS STILL NOT WORKING!! I paid for two years and got 1/months of internet protection service
I would like a pro-rated refund back from this company! I got 1/months service and I paid $for TWO yearsSeems to me that would equal a refund of $if I divide the time used (almost months) by total paymentSo $divided by minus 4mosApprox $
If "total support" ,who have been great for the price I paid them ($179), cannot fix the problem as Avast SecureLine (VPN) personnel have stated to do, then the product is faulty and therefore does not and in my opinion WILL NOT work
I would like an $refund back on the card to which I paid or a refund sent directly to meResolved...simply put!!
Final Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2015/11/27) */
Unfortunately, we cannot refund this order for the same reason we already informed custmer last time

We contacted this customer via our support portal based on his complaint no.***

Unfortunately, we never received any reply since 18th April

Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because:
There
was no typo in my email address, this is a lie I have addresses, one is *** and the other is *** Emails received at both addresses are shown in my email inbox I waited for a week without EasyPass service because Avast tech support did not respond to the support tickets I submitted I was unable to use any of my passwords for any website Avast failed to provide proper support for EasyPass, and it caused me harm * *** *** *** *** *** *** ** *** *** *** * *** *** *** *** *** *** ** *** * *** *** ** *** *** *** *** *** *** * *** *** *** *** ** *** *** * *** *** *** *** ** ** *** ** *** *** *** *** *** ** *** ***

Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2015/03/20) */
We found this customer in our support portal
We've answered his questions and offered him to combine his licenses in to one and cancel all Auto-Renewal available
We are awaiting his reply
Initial Consumer Rebuttal /*

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
Their response is partially acceptableI take issue with their automated response in which they referred to me as his and himI am a womanMy complaint was mostly about the fact that there is no way to actually talk to a person at this companyI had and still have some confusion about my account, and I was anxious to get it cleared upI don't want to wait for days to respond by email and keep exchanging emails
Their offer to combine the liceneses is okay, except I'm still not clear about what I actually haveI have their product on one computer, and there are three active licensesIt's not their fault that I have so manyIt was my fault for not knowing exactly what my computer repair shop had put on my computerI think a phone call could have quickly cleared this up, but this company is unavailable by phone
Final Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2015/03/25) */
All licenses for this customer were combined and new extended license createdNew license is valid until December/
We informed customer via our support portal

Hi ***
Thank you for checking in
My issue wasn't completely resolved because my complaint was something they couldn't do, evidentlyI wanted to speak to someone who could help me understand why I had three active licenses for two PCsThe whole situation was confusing because my computer repair shop put the program on my machine, and somehow I renewed or purchased licenses for more computers than I actually haveWhen I click on Account in the Avast window, it won't give me access because the email address is from my repair shop and not mineSince I never got to talk to anyone, I wasn't able to explain all this to them and have them help me figure it out
What they did is combine the licenses I have into one long license expiring in because I currently only run the program on one computerI guess that's okayThey sent me a link with instructions on how to activate this, and it seemed to work fineI just can't access the account in Avast on the computerIf I want to see anything I have to go to the website, but at least my email address and password *** thereI don't have a problem with the quality of the product, so I don't mind keeping itIt's just very frustrating that there is no way to talk to a humanI'm all for electronic communication most of the time, but I feel like there are some situations where you actually need to talk
For all intent and purposes, yes, I guess the issue is resolvedI just won't renew with them once my license expires because I don't agree with their customer service procedures
Sincerely,
*** ***
