My Free Avast 4.8 has expired.
I must use Version 4.8 because my computer will only run Windows 98!
When I call support, they say they can assist me ONLY if they are able to connect to my computer.
This connection will not work.
Please, how can I get a renewed License for my Free Avast 4.8?
Thank you!
- Complete the avast! free antivirus Registration form and you will receive an email avast . com (without the spaces) with your registration key.
Now whilst this page mentions avast 4.8 I honestly don’t know if this will work for avast 4.8 as effectively it is on life support and could have the plug pulled on it pretty soon. The main reason it is still working is many businesses are still using avast 4.8 pro, as they also move to the new avast 6 versions of their software, support for 4.8 will end.
There is however, no fixed date for that.
Thanks, DavidR, for the reply.
I have tried your suggestion a couple of times, but I never receive the email which they say they will send, containing my Renewal License Number.
Hoping for some other suggestions.
If anyone reading this has a free anti-virus program using Windows 98, I would appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks again!
Here’s the link for 4.8: https://secure.avast.com/web/eng/home-registration.php
Look in your spam folder for the Avast email containing your license key.
After Avast stops supporting 4.8 you might look into ClamWin AV and it’s real time/heuristic counterpart, Clam Sentinel.
