Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 12, 2014/05/06) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
Prior to filing a formal complaint with the Revdex.com, I attempted to resolve this issue directly with the company. I ended up having a lengthy email exchange with a representative of the company. It became increasingly clear to me that the person was not even reading my emails, or that they could not understand them, because they continued to offer the same "solution," which was of no interest to me. (Basically, an extension of my coverage. I did not want that because I had lost all respect for the company, and had been irritated by their horrible customer service.) This is why I escalated the matter to the Revdex.com on April 16th.
On April 22, 2014, I received an email from the company saying that a refund of my order #XXXXXXXXXXX "has been successfully processed. Your payment will soon be returned back to your account." It is now May 6, 2014, FOURTEEN days later. I just checked my credit card account online ... still no refund from Avast.
This is how these people operate. They stall and stonewall and say No, and then when they finally do say "Yes," (after they have been caught being dead wrong), they issue empty promises that they break. There is NO WAY it should take FOURTEEN days to process a simple credit card refund.
In the company's response, they say that "we will not refund his order from June which is way over our 30 days refund guarantee." I never asked them to refund the June order. I asked them to refund the duplicate January order that I was HUSTLED and CHEATED into purchasing, when the Avast system incorrectly (and deliberately, to generate additional revenue???) advised me that my protection had expired. I knew that was wrong, because my coverage was purchased in June, 2013, and was good for a year. So when I was advised in January, 2014 that it had expired, this was obviously false, but I did not want to take any chances, so I paid them the money they demanded (or, more accurately, extorted), and resolved to get the situation fixed as soon as I could get my documentation together.
As to the statement in the company's response, "This was already explain to him in [redacted] I have no earthly idea what this means, or what they are talking about. What is "[redacted]?" I have no idea.
The fact is this: On April 22, 2014, I was promised a refund for the January, 2014 order that was falsely solicited to me by Avast. That order number is: XXXXXXXXXXX. It is now May 6, 2014, fourteen days later, and still no credit from Avast. Why not, Avast??? Why are you stalling and lying and cheating like this??? Why do you not keep your promises??? Why is your company so horribly dishonest???

We do apologize for the inconvenience this has caused and I am forwarding this case to our refund department who will be in contact with you very soon to discuss a refund.
Typically refunds take about 2-3 weeks to be received. A notification should be sent to you soon with the information.
However I can see in our system this order from January 2014 has been refunded so please check with your credit card company.
Kind Regards

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
The January, 2014 order that was fraudulent forced on me via an erroneous Pop-Up Alert from Avast saying that my protection had expired (which was false; my subscription was fully paid-up until June, 2014) has not been refunded by Avast. I received an email message from Avast on April 23, 2014 stating that a refund had been approved (finally), and that it would be processed in the next 2 weeks. It is now June 3, 2014, and I still have not received the refund from Avast. Avast, you need to process this refund right away, and to stop playing dishonest stalling and delaying games. It is absurd for a refund to require 2 to 3 weeks for processing. If a company is serious about Customer Service, and serious about issuing a refund it has agreed to issue, a refund can be processed in 2 minutes. 2 to 3 weeks is nothing but a stalling game. Perhaps you people think I am going to forget about this if you delay and delay, and I can assure you that I am not going to forget about this. Dealing with your company has been absolutely infuriating because your company is dishonest. You fail to respond, and then when you do respond, you make promises that you deliberately fail to keep. When am I going to receive the refund for the duplicate order you falsely hustled me into buying on January 24, 2014, via your erroneous Pop-Up scam?

Unfortunately, we did not find any record from this customer in our support portal.
Customer purchased two separate licenses.
First one of them was an automatic renewal from our 60-days free trial (Customer has license for 60 days and then license is renewed for a year if AR was not turned...

off).
Additionally to the first order, customer placed a new order for same product 3 days after previous license renewed itself.
Customer already placed a charge-back for second order so money was refunded by his bank.
His first license was refunded upon his request in this complaint.
Both of his licenses were refunded.

Initial Business Response /* (1000, 7, 2015/01/26) */
Customer was already refunded as he requested in our ticketing system.

Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2015/05/07) */
We were able to locate this customer in our records.
He was charged in January for an Auto-Renewal which was active in his subscription.
Customer asked for a charge-back for this charge.
He replied to us that charge-back was...

reversed however our distributor did not confirm it.
We escalated this case to get the result as soon as possible.

(The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.)
I was very impressed with both the Revdex.com and Avast. ...


The Revdex.com quickly handled my complaint and Avast promptly agreed to refund my $179.99.
I believe that Avast is a reputable and honorable company that can be trusted and that this experience was not representative of their usual business practices.

Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2014/04/14) */
I'm very sorry, Our records show that your purchase was for $19.99, not $42.89.
We will need a proof of credit to identify this "Unauthorized" charge.

according to my bank records the 42.89 "Unauthorized" charge had the title DRI * AVAST SOFTWARE, I will get my bank to provide the records.
I am just tryin to find out who did this and get my money back, if this was n't your company we'll find out , and please cease with the sarcasm ( "Unathorized" charge) wasn't appreciated or neccesary
Final Business Response /* (4000, 15, 2014/04/30) */
This will forwarded again to our speciliast and they will contact you regarding the further purchases.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
i'm not disputing the 3/14 transaction. i'm disputing the 3/26 transaction which you will receive proof of shortly by mail. I don't know if by my 3/14 purchase I was going to be charged the additional 42.89 without me being told or but I did not receive any information that I would be doing so, I just want the 42.89 refunded by who ever pulled it from my account on 3/26, please. I only agreed to the 19.99 purchase and nothing more.

Customer was already refunded for his Avast Cleanup license in December/2016.
He is now running another Avast Cleanup which is free, complimentary license from Avast.
We contacted customer about this via our support portal.

Dear [redacted],
Thank you for your response and all details provided.
Regrettably, according to our refund policy I can not issue a refund for the order which was placed on 07/06/2014 if the first...

request for refund was placed on 11/24/2014.
All Avast programs can be used 30 days for free as a trial, and additionally we offer a 30 days money back guarantee from the date of purchase.
That said, we are happy, of course, to offer support and assistance for any Avast issue for the duration of the license.
Best regards,

I have been contacted before I registered my complaint with the Revdex.com, and there was no resolution because their comment to me was: we do not have a refund policy.
Yet the email from customer support clearly states that the person who convinced me to purchase the technical support was in error.
It seems like a brush off to me to have a representative say "we will contact you. so sorry". If they do contact me and arrange for a refund, I will then consider their response to my complaint as acceptable.
Thank you.
Final Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2014/08/25) */
A Total Support Representative will contact you shortly about your refund.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Kind Regards
Final Consumer Response /* (2000, 11, 2014/08/27) */
Thank you very much for your assistance in this issue! For 4 months, I could not get the company to recognize that the error of this transaction was theirs and not mine. However, as a result of your involvement, Avast! will refund the inappropriately charged technical support. Many, many, many thanks!!!!!
As an interesting side note, I missed the first phone call from the Avast Representative, and so followed the instructions left by her on my answering machine to call a certain number and press option 2 twice. This put me in contact with a person who not only couldn't connect me with the Representative who called me, but after reviewing my case, told me, yet again, that a refund was not possible since the tech service had been used.
Fortunately, I did NOT miss the second phone call from the Avast Representative, [redacted] who politely listened when I told her everyone who reviewed my case was missing the beginning of the problem and was fixating on the 'end results' of this problem: the tech support was USED so no refund was possible. She recognized the BEGINNING: the software should have been configured for my computer for free without referring me to paid tech support.
With great appreciation,
[redacted]

Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2015/07/03) */
We escalated this case to the call center supervisor to review this call sessions.
