I don’t want to go back to AVG and they must be joking with Norton … ???

Also running the Windows 7 beta 7 32bit and have another problem:

I am unable to enter the register key. It accepts only 1 caracter and then beeps as I reached the end of the field.
The standard shield is ok and the windows security reports the avast as the anti virus and malware software Tried uninstaling / boot / install / boot with no sucess. As far as I can see till now, I did not have more problems

Copy and paste the complete key rather than try and type the entry.

@ graham.lv

Try a repair of avast. Add Remove programs, select ‘avast! Anti-Virus,’ click the Change/Remove button and scroll down to Repair, click next and follow.
If that doesn’t work try, uninstall, reboot, install, reboot.

Are you copying and pasting?
Aren’t you pasting a paragraph also?

tried the copy and paste but another issue … it paste the key but the last caracter is missing and is not possible to insert it. Paragraph checked and ok

I am very sorry but the problem inserting the register key was mine .

I was trying to insert a wrong key from another software that are very similar . Now inserting the correct key it enter without problems.

So my avast on windows 7 is running ok

Now that would make for interesting fault finding ;D

Glad that everything is now working as it should.

Never mind :wink:
Glad you’re ok now.
