Registering Avast
« on: November 07, 2010, 03:57:38 PM »
I tried to register Avast free Anti-virus program so it won't expire in 30 days.

But I can't do it, when I click Register now button I have a choice of beginner , average user, advance user. When I choose any one of them nothing happens and when I try to click other menus or minimize the program it doesn't repond to anything, I am using Windows XP.

It is weird.

What is wrong ?

What should I do ?

I attach the photo below.

Also when I try to uninstall Avast I get this error below and it won't uninstall-

I suggest an installation from scratch:

1. Download the latest version of avast! Uninstall Utility and save it.
2. Download the latest avast! version and save it.
3. Uninstall avast from Control Panel (if possible). If, for any reason, you can't run it, try booting in Safe Mode and doing it from there. Anyway, boot after that.
4. Run the avast! Uninstall Utility saved on 1. If, for any reason, you can't run it, try booting in Safe Mode and doing it from there. Anyway, boot after you've run it.
5. Install avast! using the setup saved on 2. Boot.
6. Register your free copy or add the license key for Pro.
7. Check and post the results.
The best things in life are free.

zhong, your logs suggest that you installed ais and not the free version, you should do as Tech has metioned and uninstall your current and replace it with the free version.
