Thanks to all you guys for your help .... it appears to have been an ISP
issue (thanks DavidR )

I have now resolved the problem by creating an e-mail account on YAHOO
and registering as a new user ....
Registration Key received .. AVAST 4 registered .. HAPPY user !!!
Why WANADOO.NET.MA doesn't work is beyong me ... but if all else fails
listen to those who know what they are talking about ...
Big Thanks ... Dennis
