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.
