Avast — scam and cheating

1
Review updated:

I purchased avast spyware on two occassions i did not receive. I contacted avast by email said they said they had no record of it. I looked at bank records and the first time there was no payment taken from account. The second time there was twice the amount taken. Is this ripoff or is this a pirate!

    There was a fraudulent worker for avast that has been trying to not allow me to use my internet since I have purchased this product. The male did not sound English. I have never had this problem with this company before. He deserves to get fired.
