avast! Free Antivirus (Not Responding) on Vista

A home user has gone to load up their PC.

Avast tells them that their license has expired and they need to register.

They go ahead and follow the instructions to register their free home version.

Upon clicking on “Register now”, the application freezes and stops responding.

It’s Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

See attached.

Any ideas what may be causing this?

Thanks.

When was this? There were a few brief server outages reported this morning in another thread.

I suspect the two incidents are unrelated. Any better ideas?

My Avast has stopped running,tells me my system is unsecure…I have the free version also and I’m
using vista too.Re-registered only last week,what can I do I wonder?

Try going to control panel/programs and features and doing a fix of avast!.

Avast is latest, and a fix didn’t work. Any further ideas?

Last resort seems to be an uninstall with the Avast! uninstaller at the top of this forum, and then a reinstall. Have seen a few reports of registration problems, but not a universal solution yet.
