If a regular Joe like myself, was very very lucky
to get a 'gift' of a free upgrade to avast! Internet Security
and already have a firewall and spyware program
ie.. Outpost and Malwarebytes, with Winpatrol and Secureanywhere
running at start up.
I would like to know if it cant be stripped down to just a 'pro' version
argo during installation like the free version choosing what one wants installed.
Do I also need to uninstall and then clean up and re-install or just add new key?
thanks for any and all advise

Just adding the key will upgrade your avast, what i would do is disable outpost while doing the upgrade and then when completed go to programs and features/remove programs and run the change option to remove the features you dont want from avast and reboot when completed, dont forget to re-enable outpost :)

Personally I would do a clean 'custom' install rather than try and upgrade avast free and than try to effectively downgrade it to no firewall and anti-spam.
That way I would be leaving Outpost enabled during the avast Internet Security custom install.

I tried Craigb's suggestion a few weeks back when having 'a shield problem' (I figure it was BS) system wouldn't load applications unless BS was not functioning/install; anyway, eventually did a Clean Install chosing all shields and that resolved My issue. :)
I also left OP enabled as usual. ;)
