AVAST won't renew license

Could someone please help me. I have the Home Pro version of Avast. It was time for renewal so I purchased another year. When I entered the registration number and clicked on OK I go the following error message:

The license key for this product is invalid of expired. License is valid until Tuesday July 01 2008. Current date is Thursday 26 November 2009. Your system time/date is not correctly set. fix it and enter the license key again. Your updating license has expired (it has not); register again and enter the new license key.

How do I reset the time and date? I thought that was done automatically. I renewed my license when I got a pop up on my screen to do so. but I still get a pop up telling me I have three days left and then I suppose my computer will explode

Thanks

That is correct, don`t be home when that happens.... ;D

If your computer time / date / mnd / year is wrong you adjust and restart

Changing the date and time

Double click on the time (bottom right of the screen), that should open the system date, check the day/month/year and adjust as required.

Where did you renew your license ?

You should have received a new email with your new license key in it, did you ?
