Pio47,
If you are looking to have only the trial version installed, it appears you have a trial Key, which is only good for 30 days. However it
needs to be installed on your C/drive...not the G/drive.
If you had a prior version of Avast (like 4.0) and still have the Key and it is not expired, you can still use that key for the upgraded 5.0.594, but you need to reinstall (see below) before you reinsert the Key (see directions below).
If you want the Free, or Pro version, you need to delete the trial version from your G/drive.I suggest a
CLEAN install to fix your problems. Print and follow these directions:
1. Save a copy of newest version of Avast (
5.0.594) for the version you need and save it to your HDD on the
C/drive:
Free –
http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/setup_av_free.exe Pro –
http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/setup_av_pro.exe2. Download the Avast Uninstall Utility, aswClear5.exe
http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility and save it to your HDD, which is the C/drive...I suggest you put it on your desktop away from other icons (it has uninstall tools for both 4.0 and 5.0). If you didn't uninstall the older version of 4.0, you can do it at this time.
3. Disconnect from the Internet at this time; turn off your connection from the Internet.
4. Uninstall Avast through "Add/Remove Programs" in Control Panel.
5. Boot into
Safe Mode (hit F8 repeatedly) and run the Avast Uninstall Tool.
6.
Reboot twice.
7. Clean your computer up (clean up cache, temporary Internet files, etc.).
8. Install the newest version of Avast and
reboot twice.
9. Get Internet access and
update Avast definitions.
10. Register your copy or add the license key for Free, Pro or AIS:
