1152815 2010-11-15 02:18:00 In the last two weeks I've tried registering for an Avast Home license from here (www.avast.com), cause the license # I have here is a few months old. I've tried registering with 3 different email address, and haven't heard a peep from Avast - in the past it's normally taken around 1 hour to get the key.

Is anyone else having trouble, or if it's working is someone able to register and PM me the key?

Cheers. :)

1152816 2010-11-15 02:25:00 I put the Free avast on a workshop PC two weeks ago, just to play about with it for some more testing. Then it decides the Licence is going to expire and to get a new one WTF.

I know it normally has a yearly, but 2weeks, and it wouldn't allow me to get a new one - Out it came :yuck:

1152817 2010-11-15 02:32:00 I know Xnet blocks Avast for some reason. They said they'll check why, but never got back to me.

So, if youre with Xnet, use another email addy (ie: Gmail). When I had Avast I was waiting for the key too. Never got it, until I decided to check Gmail (I had forwarded emails from there to Xnet). It was stuck on the Gmail site

1152819 2010-11-15 03:20:00 Bin Avast and put Microsoft Security Essentials on it ..... think it's better than Avast now. SP8's (9836)
1152820 2010-11-15 04:00:00 To achieve success, for what it is worth, I find it necessary to first uninstall Avast. Then install Avast 5 from a flash drive, connect the web and Avast is easily registered with a hotmail or gmail alias.
MSE, in my experience, has a few limitations but is also an alternative.

1152824 2010-11-15 21:27:00 I know MSSE is 'better' than Avast, but I still come across the occasional XP PC that just doesn't like MSSE. ;)

I've even tried the new AVG, but :yuck: it's horrible!
