I was signing up for cnet.com/avast-free-antivirus and some how the company turned out to be software-hq with a tag "avast-free-antivirus. " the cnet.com is totally free while software-hq. Charged me $71.00 for membership fee. I called my bank when I realized the error but it was too late. I feel there are very misleading and borders on fraud if not fraud.
