Hi.
I had an issue where someone hacked my Avast installation and reset the
license date to December 31, 1969, effectively disabling it. I removed it
and replaced it at least temporarily with AVG. What I don't like about
Avast is that it is so automatic that it is hard to tell if it is doing
anything, and probably for a while on mine, it wasn't.
