I have been using AVS products for at least 10 years, possibly longer. Way back I bought their lifetime registration that covered all their products. I can say that they are a very trustworthy company and do respond to any requests for assistance. Even now that licence remains active. I’ve infrequently used about 50% of their products from time to time and always found them to work flawlessly and effectively.
As I say, I am just a very satisfied customer and own that paid licence (can’t remember what it cost, wasn’t an arm and a leg ;)
Just saying this to ally any fears anyone may have on their reliability.
