I just installed the Avast FREE 2014. I believe when I was installing I clicked on Register (but did not have to input any info). Now when I click on the Avast icon lower right of screen and click on "Registration Information" I see a screen that says "You are registered." And that my expiration is 8/11/2015. Is that possible if I did not input my name or email account? I thought I had to input my name and email account in order to be registered?
And that i would get a "license number" or something like that that I would have to input somewhere.
What am I doing (or have done) wrong?
Am I registered or not? How can Avast determine when my registration expires if they don't know who I am?
P.S. I did a Quick Scan and it took 60 minutes. That is much longer than other AV Quick Scans I have run.  Why would it take 60 minutes?
Please advise.

P.S. It is so very, very hard to read the verification numbers. I had to try and try again.

Hi,

yes we are now testing this simplified "registration" without requirement to enter email address.

Disabling the auto-update is not a good idea.
Your system will not be protected as it should/can be.

Thanks. Improvements on simplicity :)
But, hmmm, won't it be good to make avast! account mandatory?

This would be wonderful since so many users have had problems.  I can't thank you enough!   :)
