A couple days ago, I placed an order to upgrade from avast!Free antivirus to Avast Internet Security. This was going to cost me $49.99 so I entered card details to make the purchase (My card has not yet been debited). I was then prompted to download the product which seemed to be successful although I had to first uninstall avast!Free antivus which I also did. I was then provided with a license file which I saved to the hard drive. However, I couldn't work out how to insert the license file to activate the new virus protection.
The next day, I reinstalled avast!Free antivirus as I didn't want my computer not to be protected at all. I checked emails and had received a license file via email which I saved to the hard drive (replacing previous license file) and backed up to USB. However, I still couldn't work out how to insert it to activate the new virus protection.
So, I clicked on the avast icon in the tool bar (bottom right of screen) which came up with avast!Free antivus (hence, I don't think the Avast Internet Security is working) and requested I register the product otherwise it would expire in 30 days. I clicked on Register Now and found an option saying that I'd like to upgrade my avast!Free antivirus to Avast Internet Security. I clicked on Insert Avast!Pro Antivirus/Internet Security license file and inserted the license file saved on my hard drive. A window came up saying "Thank you. Your license file has been inserted successfully. The program will now upgrade to avast!Internet Security."
All seemed good however, the next day, when I logged onto my computer again and clicked on the avast icon, it is still showing that I have avast!free antivirus and that I need to register otherwise it will expire in now 27 days.
Can someone tell me if I have correctly upgraded to avast!internet security and how I can check to see if it is working or not?
Thanks, Simmi.
