Ok, mabey i caused some confusion with my last post, so will try to make it clearer.
This is what VLK said earlier this morning
Hi guys, yes, you're right...
Our keygen robot generates "invalid" keys since midnight Jan 1, 2005 European time. It's sort of a "Y2K5 bug"
We apologize for the inconvenience.
We'll be sending out fixed keys later today.
Thanks
Vlk
So therefore any reg key you try to get at the moment will not work, so i suggest that you keep checking back here until the problem is resolved by the avast team, then forgo the steps mentioned above.
They will either email you the Valid keys from the email addresses you provided while registering, or they will simply ask you to re-register.
