Registration expiration early win XP
« on: September 23, 2015, 06:04:01 PM »
Win XP PC registered 7/3/2015 show registration will expire 12/30/2015. Since registration is typically for 1 year, this  makes me wonder if avast has set a date to end support for XP. Could find nothing to indicate that is the case. Could someone please shed light on this?
Note: This XP's primary user is an 88 year old woman who will not change to a new operating system...so admonitions regarding XP safety aren't helpful.
Thanks in advance for any help or insight you care to provide.

Check your system date (day,month,year) and adjust as required.

If the system date is correct try a repair of avast:
XP Control Panel - Add Remove programs, select 'avast! Anti-Virus,' click the Change/Remove button and select Repair, click next and follow. Reboot.
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.3.6108 (build 24.3.8975.762) UI 1.0.801/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security
