Avast free version cannot connect in order to register

The program keeps alerting me to register, but when I try, it returns the message ‘on-line content not available’. I went to the Avast site and registered there, but this did not make any difference with my installed program. It connects for upgrades with no problems…

After searching off-site I found a forum post that gave the link for the online free license request:

Where you able to register the free version now or do you still have a problem ?

Hi tjcurtin1, welcome to the forum :slight_smile:

Are you by any chance using the MVPS-HOSTS file ?

Or something else that is blocking googletag ?
