    Ok got the registration sorted and they sent me an activation code.
    I have tried every way recommended to enter this but simply can't.

    When I go into the orange avast A ball icon i just can't find a way in, ie I don't get the about avast screen shown in the turorial, which is I think, where I need to be, anyone got a clue??, cheers.

    Hi

    Have you tried this:

    Open Avast User Interface then:

    The easiest way to register is to just open the Maintenance tab on the left side of the screen and then click on Registration. Here you will see your current registration status e.g. "not yet registered". To register click on Register Now.

    A new window will open where you will need to enter a few basic details, then just click on "Register for free license" and your registration will be completed.

    Yeah, right click. double left still no access, but thanks for the bump, ;)

    Just checking that you have installed the FREE version.

    Apologies again, but I've not been near this for over a year, pre orange icon. :cool:

    I think the poster may have a different version as he/she only has 'subscription'
    Ok tried finding registrations and I can't, all I get is subscription via maintenance.
    Move along, nothing to see.

    I have installed and am running the free version. Warning of only 11 days left. Subscibed to free home licence now. All ok, but I cannot "place" the activation key, :wall::wall::wall::wall: which they have sent me, as stuff does come up as per tutorials, ie, No registration or activation option from the orange thing.??
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    I wouldnt recommend it. And if you do, make sure its not the full version with the firewall as its less safe than windows firewall
    :idea:
  • I started useing kaspersky in january and its not caused me any problems yet and dosnt slow down my computer or laptop. :)
  • McAfee is a good software.


    !!!!!!! It bogs systems down. In some cases I have seen it completely disables internet access. Avoid it at all costs.

    kaspersky is fine but I personaly don't like it as it gave me some trouble in the past when I was using it.

    Hi, I am at present using Norton 360 and malwarebytes on laptop and free Comodo av and firewall on main computer alongside malwarebytes. The Comodo has a quite basic appearance however considering it is free it seems to perform well.
