Hi!

I have an Avast Internet Security account with 9 months left. I tried to “update” this a week ago and all hades broke loose. It did not finalize the update for some reason and started locking up my entire sytem. So, I had to run a “System Restore”. Then Avast wouldn’t work at all. So, I uninstalled it. Now, I would like to reinstall 7.0 Internet Security. How can I do this successfully and without having to pay again? I have tried to download the full version… the trial version… to no avail.

Please, can some awesome and loving person, with knowledge on this subject, tell me how to do this?

  1. Download avast! Internet Security: http://files.avast.com/iavs5x/avast_internet_security_setup.exe
  2. Follow instructions: http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility (Run this tool for all prior installed avast! versions…!!)
  3. Reinstall avast! with the downloaded installer from point 1.
  4. Reboot.

It depends on when you did the system restore and downloaded the trial version vs. the full version. You also had multiple versions on your machine, so this needed to be uninstalled and cleaned out.

In any case, the problem is now fixed and working again! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
