I am running Windows 7 64bit. I have Avast Internet Security version 6.0.1367. I did a system restore recently and avast has stopped working. The error "File System Shield provider not found." pops up. There is also an error when I try to uninstall from add/remove programs.
I have downloaded the Avast removal application and have received a new license via email. This email however only mentions version 4.8 and 5. I want to keep using the version I'm currently using. On the Avast site I can only find those and version 7 which comes with a free month trial. I don't want that because I already own 6.0.1367.
If i just download version 7 will I be able to use it past the free trial if I insert the licenses for 6 that I already have? If so, how do I insert the license in version 7?
Edit: I have found and downloaded the setup for avast! Internet Security 6.0.1289. How do I insert the licenses once I've ran the removal program and installed? Are the instructions the same for the one sent with the licenses for version 5?
