You’re welcome.

PS: New version is in beta, see: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=204702.0

I’ll look at it.
I just made a new Macrium Reflect system image today.
If this beta screws things up I can revert to my good OS easily.
Since I added usb 3.1 ports & got a 1TB external HD I can restore in about 5 minutes.
1GB/second read speed.
585MB/second write speed.

It wouldn’t work without my buying a new license.
I uninstalled it.

Hi, are you sure about that…!?
Nobody would test a beta, if one needs to buy a license.

I’m sure.
I tried my Cleanup activation numbers & it said invalid.
I don’t have a license.
The only options left were to buy a license or Exit, which closed the program.

OK, best you report it in the beta thread.

system · 2017-06-29T09:32:13.000Z

ok.

Asyn · 2017-06-29T09:35:35.000Z

Thanks.

system · 2017-06-29T09:39:12.000Z

Already done.

Good job, you got a reply: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=204702.msg1404805#msg1404805

I already read it.
The person said they have experienced the same issue & are working on fixing it.
He said he would be in touch with me when it gets fixed.
Of course, I was told the same thing about the version I already have & they never did contact me.

Asyn · 2017-06-29T10:39:41.000Z

Yep, let’s hope it’ll get fixed soon…

system · 2017-06-29T10:41:38.000Z

If they don’t get the problems fixed nobody will test the beta…

I have same problem.
I purchased the cleanup licence and activated on avast free antivirus but process does not start.

So I downloaded the beta version of it and tried to enter the activation code but it says its incorrect activation code.
What should I do now.

I just started a ticket here—

The page said I would be contacted soon.
You might want to ask for help there too.

I got a reply.
They used the money I paid on Cleanup Premium to extend my Avast Premier for 8 months.
I’m happy with that. ;D

They were a little slow responding but did respond.

Yes it takes cough some time for avast to respond but eventually they will.

I’ve said it in other threads, tools like CleanUp don’t do anything you can’t do already natively with the OS.
It can help doing some things faster, but that is all.

If you (or anyone else) really want to use such a tool, I recommend CCleaner (pretty good and free).

As every system/user is different, a simple batch file that removes what the user wants will work real nice.

I have same problem can’t complete functions, and I can’t find a way to contact support without accessing total care at $79 per call! Really? The product doesn’t work and customers can’t report and obtain refunds for defective or broken products!
