Just wondering why do avast ask for our address and telephone # if its free? Do you fill real info in?
If I’m not mistaken… I believe it’s just for statisical purposes. So Alwil can get an idea of just how many people use Avast4Home.
As for the exact information?
That is up to you.
Many other users here go by other names… so it is completely possible that people use different names.
To be honest… I don’t remember Alwil asking me for a phone number when I signed up? That option is not in BOLD leading me to believe you can leave that field empty.
Your NOT going to get a phone call though.
Welcome aboard! ;D
Well, it is really just for statistical purposes and for our internal use - we like to know who our users are. Of course, there are some people which fill there a complete nonsense data (even the email, in which case they will not receive the license key) but you will be surprised how many people enter the real stuff there !
The data are stored safely and are not misused in any way - we will definitely not call you. If you do not feel comfortable with entering your address/phone, do not do it. But please fill at least the city/country with correct info
thanks

I filled in my info but just wanted to make sure.
Pavel, why don’t we have a ‘map’ of avast! users (country or city x number of users)?
Some YaBB forums, if I’m not wrong, have this feature on.
What about download statitics be published? I mean, how many copies of each language were downloaded.
How many avast! Pro users are we? 8)
this will be something really interesting to publish… ;D
