i am not online with that computer, i’m using a different computer.
only after i’ve installed the avast free anti-virus do i go online with it to update it.

i just allowed a fresh install to update continually for over 12 hours and the “current version” on the maintenance tab page still reads 130509
even though the “latest update received” time stamp is continually current.
also still unable to register it.
i might try to do a computer restore back a week and see if its possible to restart this whole process over from scratch.
