I am in the same situation as you, on the one hand it reassures me to think that I am not the only one, but on the other hand we do not see any solution arrived …
I’m at 4 days… as long as I ignore the OTHER popup that says that I’ve been using the freeware version for 272 days so my free year is expiring, and the OTHER other popup that says my free year expires today.
In any case there is no option to renew the free version.
My experience as well, with the addition of (6) Enter windows 7 registry editor. Search for and delete the two registry keys including the word “Avast.”
Reinstall fresh copy from website.
Note same 4 day expiration clock.
Repeat other steps with no change in results.
(7) Ask friends on Social Media for recommendations for functional AV program as avast is no longer providing free AV repair.
Which kind of makes both your posts moot until after the supposed roll-out of the fix tomorrow, could this not have waited a day

It’s a time zone issue. Those posts were not there when I posted.

And we’ll see what comes out tomorrow, won’t we?
Sorry but timezone has nothing to do with it. Everything works on forum timezone and since Avast’s post was on this forum. it was posted before your post.
You also receive a message before posting if something occurred while you are composing your post and before you actually post it.
You’re correct, we will see if this is addressed by tomorrow and, tomorrow is based on where Avast is located.
The time recorded in the posts are based on a uniform time, when you look at all of the times they should be in chronological order of posting regardless of when posted.
The times you see are based on your local time zone I’m in the UK and it is currently 22:55, you will see a different time but the order they are posted/arrive at the forum server is what determines the order.
So I and you will see posts times for your local time zone, anything else would look very strange.
We will have to wait for its release tomorrow. When is tomorrow, that would be based on the European Time Zone as Avast are in the Czech Republic and within normal working hours. That could be much different for your Central Daylight Time zone.
