I have been using the free Avast antivirus since long. and it works great. I have had no problems whatsoever with it till now.
Recently, the registration expired. So, when i tried to register again, as i always do, it was not successful.
Also, then i came to know that there is now a newer version of the anti virus that won’t require registration at all.
However, when i tried to install it on my old desktop PC the following error shows.
Is it because of the SP2/SP3 thing?
Are there some methods by which i can still use it on my current set up or do i need to change my set up?

Now, all of sudden, i noticed that since yesterday Avast again started working. The registration info shown is attached.
Now, how can this be possible? As i have definitely not registered on that day. Also, once registered does it not remain registered for one year? ???

So, then how did that happen? It must be some virus that did it? ???
Also, i did not at all register at the time and date shown. This i remember distinctly. And as you have said, registration is not possible at all right now.

No virus, older versions do auto-register.

Ok. Thank you for that information. I was not aware that it can auto-register.
