See if the ASCII code for it is working.

Hi,

I am checking on a workaround for this issue and will get back to you as soon as I have those details from our Dev team.

Thanks,

 I fingered out why it won't work. I tried to get my license so I could install it manually. They have a fine product, I have it on one of my other computers. But on my laptop it would not activate automatically. I'll get to the point of the solution. It does not like my email address. It says it sent my activation code, but I never get it. So I registered using a G mail account. Success!!! Now if I can only get them to answer my service ticket and have them change my purchase email, to the one that works.
Sr Member of Avast CAN YOU HELP ME?

if you keep the ALT key pressed down and then press the figure 2 key that will give you the @ key

morag,

not for eveyone.
It depends on the language/keyboard settings someone is using.

Another mistake you are making is that you assume everyone has a qwerty keyboard.
Here are some other layouts:
