I have used many Anti-virus programs since year 2006. Most of them will bound you to buy paid version. AVG is one of the most popular anti-virus software. It comes in both free and paid versions. After using some days its trial expires and one have to renew it via paying money. AVG also want their customers continue even if they don’t want to pay. They provides option to convert their trial version into a free AVG version.
I installed AVG trial version from their site. After some days it asked me to upgrade AVG version. I was little confused how to convert my AVG Trial version in AVG free version, Because uninstalling AVG and reinstalling process takes time, So i would like to suggest you a easy way for How to convert AVG trial to AVG Free version without Uninstalling-
