Good evening everyone,

     A friend of mine is getting me a refurbished Dell Optiplex 755 desktop computer running Win 7 Pro, 64-bit.  My present computer is a Dell running Win XP Pro, 32-bit.

Is there a specific procedure for transferring my Avast EasyPass from this Win XP 32-bit machine to the new Win 7 64-bit computer?  I didn't see anything in the FAQ section that seems to answer this question.

Thanks very much for your time and any info!

Just install it and connect with your EasyPass Account.

I appreciate the info, DJBone!

     Sorry for the late reply.  Cox Communications email service has been down since Friday afternoon along the east coast here, so I don't receive any alerts when someone replies to any of my posts.

Best wishes for a nice holiday season!

[UPDATE]:

     Unfortunately, I was unable to re-install EasyPass on this Win 7 computer.  For some reason, EasyPass will not sync, and doesn't seem to be able to connect to the servers.  When I spoke with tech support, they said it would cost $99.99 for a tech to connect remotely to my machine to fix the problem.  Not going to happen, I replied.

It seems this is an ongoing problem when a user of any of Avast's PAID products needs tech support...they keep trying to charge you for any help.  I certainly will not be using EasyPass any longer.   :P

Maybe it's blocked by your firewall?

I wish it WERE that simple, DJ.  I tried a few things, including disabling the firewall, but no luck.

Just have to chalk this one up as a lesson learned.

Best regards!

Silly question: Do you have setup your account and your master password?

This thread has been dead for over 4(!) year.

Besides that, Easypass is history, it has been replaced by avast passwords over a year ago.
