hey, last Saturday my laptop started freezing up and not working. i emailed the manufacturers who told me the best thing to do would be a system reset, thus bringing my laptop back to factory settings and deleting all programs and documents etc. i didnt have much choice, so i backed up everything i could and did the reset.
now i dont have avast downloaded onto my laptop, but i still have an account and a licence. im a paying user, i had the 39.99 a year version, and i dont want to lose it. i have not lost my licence, but i dont know how to get the actual protection back.
any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks
the manufacturers who told me the best thing to do would be a system reset,if that means any factory installed antivirus is also restored, this must be removed before installing avast

then download and install avast … and insert your license

Just install avast again (after removing any av the manufacturer has installed) and provided with you license key.

thanks guys, but where do you actually redownload it from? i cant find an option to download it without paying again.
