You should re-install it, using the setup.exe from avast's website. You may use the same registration key if you want, or ask for a new one...

Yeah, but if you ask for a new key you must buy it  ;D

Come on Technical....Give the lady a break!  ;D

Susie,

He's kidding as you can see.  As long as Pro goes into "one" computer with one license, its' really ok.

The problem would be if a user kept BOTH the new and old computer operating with Pro on ONE license.  But we know that you would never do this.  :-X

Any problems with the new install, let us know.

What kind did you get?

Thanks guys, a straight exchange for my hp 708, something wasn't configured right and  kept clashing they let me change it rather than do a recovery, as it was only 3 weeks old, it also seemed a little slow for a 2.6, really proud of myself installed my programs and broadband too, unistalled Nav and put Avast back on, and McAfee too  :D, it's taken me hours to do it though  :)

Any idea why Avast didn't ask me for my registration key when I installed it?

And it is registered? If so, that can only mean the "key" was already there when you installed Avast or you have a very special version of Avast.

Avast and McAfee? Hmm I don't think that is a good idea. (having them both on one system)
I would rather go for one AV on the system and a online one as 'backup'.

Anyway, let's hope you won't run into any problems for a long time. (even better, no problems at all)
Enjoy your new system.

How did you put everything back on the new computer?
You can just replace that Key with the one you have.

You are getting smarter every day.
Pretty soon we'll have to be careful or you'll use this:
