I have recently been getting frequent annoying popup messages from AVG Free, inviting me to try the full version. I searched AVG Support to find out how to stop them, and came across this thread first:

After reading that I didn't know whether to laugh or cry!
Then I came across this thread in similar vein:

Finally I came to this thread with a solution towards the end. I implemented it and so far the popups have stayed popped down.

It reminded me of many other times I have contacted a support centre, obviously located offshore somewhere, and got the runaround. As a guess, from the length of the surnames, I would say that this one is based in Sri Lanka.
If you download AVG free from the obvious link on the AVG web site, you will also get an add-on called Zen. You can't uninstall Zen without first uninstalling the main AVG Free program (called AVG Protection). However, if you download AVG Free from this site, you can get a Zen free version.
